    ImageBNC looms large and RULES!

    SMA is too fragile and PL-259 is a pain to weatherproof. I prefer BNC for portable use and N connectors for just about everything else.

      That’s interesting as PL-259 is the standard for marine use. I wish we had something better

    Ufl sucks. No mechanical lock.

    Where is BNC, and why is uFL here?

    SMA or bust. The other three connector types introduce a lot of noise compared to SMA in my experience. BNC is my goto if I want a noise profile similar to SMA but the device I’m working with isn’t vibration damped.

      What’s the role of vibration damping? SMA comes on most HTs.

        Oh dang, I totally missed the name of this community when I commented. My knowledge of and opinions on rf connectors come from working on large aircraft mounted systems, where turbulence can cause a nightmare of threaded connector sleeves vibrating loose and bent pins. In this situation you either need vibration damping or a more mechanically robust connector like BNC

    UC-1 are less fragile than the petite SMAs
