BOOBRIE N Male to UHF Female SO-239 Connector SO239 Jack to N-Type RF Coaxial Coax Cable Adapter for Antenna/Wireless LAN Device/WiFi/Radio/Coaxial Extension Cable Pack of 2

Okay--lets get this out there. The infamous PL259/SO259 A.K.A. UHF connector is commonly used for RF connections in ham radio and other communications equipment. However, the dirty little secret is that this is not the best RF connector. Its simplicity is deceiving and it can be difficult to properly connect--especially as it ages. The center conductor works loose and the outer connector doesnt always align and tighten properly. And when its not properly connected, it causes signal loss.

They do what they need to do. Quality seams ok.

just what needed

Well made. Perfect fit.

i was going to use these connectors for an AOR AR-One receiver planned purchase, but decided that they are best kept on hand in an assortment kit for when heading out to the field

Well what can I say it’s an adapter it adapt no complaints as of yet

Ive run power through the UHF / N connectors and noticed no issues on 6 meters. These were run indoors and run at approximately 400 watts PEP from a FTDX5000 to a homebrew six meter linear. Obviously, these are long term connectors so it remains to be seen as to what the failure rate would be. The N connectors came with center pin protectors which is a nice addition - especially given that the center pins are typically rather small and rather fragile.

Quality

Well made, recommended. RP

Im using this SO-239 to N adapter on my MFJ-269CM antenna analyzer. This analyzer came with an N-adapter, but I needed to connect it to various SO-239 antenna connections. I will use it to analyze homemade 6-meter and HF dipole antennas. Works great! It came in a pack of two, so I have one spare adapter.
