[Collins] connector questions

[Fern Rivard]

Mike:  At hf frequencies, you will not notice any loss with the type N to 
UHF adapters. Make sure that you get the right angle type, otherwise it 
could be a pain to screw  your coaxial cables in.

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
