    Handheld antenna question

    Thank you, G. I've been curious about that. I try to use direct connections on all of my equipment when I can, rare times when I want to measure handheld SWR and power I use adapters. I'm not saying that the loss from some adapters are too much to use them, but, It's not worth it for me when I would rarely need to use an adapter.

    Handheld antenna question

    Does anyone know of an industry chart detailing losses in various types and styles of RF connectors? That might be a good resource to refer to - and if one can be found, the staff would be happy to pin it to the top of the Technical Discussion area. We were able to locate a chart for frequency cut off, but didn't come up with anything in a simple search about losses. Thanks... https://www.amphenolrf.com/frequency-range-chart/

    Handheld antenna question

    I keep a stock of SMA to BNC adapters, they fit into the top of the radio and make an SMA into a convenient BNC connection,. This allows for quick change out of antennas and cable in the truck for roof antennas. Yes BNC is not perfect, but can add heaps of convenience.

    I've had that happen as well. Which why I got a SMA female to BNC female adapter. Tighten that bad boy onto the HT and you're in business.
