[Collins] connector questions

[MICHAEL CROGNALE]

Hi folks,

I have a few questions about the connectors on my gear. I have: Winged emblem KWM2A , power supply and 30L-1 The 312-4 happens to be round emblem. The 312-4 and 30L-1 have the N connectors of course. I had thought about changing them out to SO239s but decided that would be too much trouble. 

So the question then becomes; how much loss/resistance can I expect if I use male N/femaleSO239 adapters. I haven’t been using the power meter on the 312-4 for that reason. I am especially concerned about feeding the output of the 30L-1 into the meter assemble using the adapters. 

Any help or discussion would be appreciated.
Tnx,
Mike

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
