[Elecraft] OT: Pin migration in Type N connectors

[Milt, N5IA]

I have been using the Times series of crimp-on "N" male connectors with the 
captive center pin for the past 10+ years.  In particular, IMHO, the Times 
EZ-400-NMH for use on LMR-400 has been a boon to the communications 
industry.

My group has installed thousands of them for use at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.  No 
failures unless a tech made an install mistake with one of them.

As Ken has indicated, they are highly recommended because of the potential 
pin migration problem AND for proper pin placement.

Good luck to all.  Have a great weekend.
