[Elecraft] K3/100 antenna connector(s)

[Don Wilhelm]

Not all will agree - I know many hams who will use nothing other than 
UHF connectors, and I have heard many others comment that BNC's *must* 
be changed to SO239 jacks.

While I believe you are correct, I think it would alienate many buyers 
to have type N connectors.  Besides, UHF connectors are good up through 
6 meters, and at times even through 2 meters.

When the rest of the world learns that N connectors are easier to 
install than PL259s, things may change, but for now, much of the ham 
world believes that PL259s are easier.
