[Elecraft] New KAT500 pics from the Visalia DX convention

I too use all BNC and LMR-240 cables. Great shield on this cable and low loss.

It boils down to personal preference, and I like BNCs.  UHF seem really large and clunky to me, and I don't like having to unscrew them rather than just a small twist.  One factor that other folks might not have is that I run strictly low power and the largest coax I have anywhere in my station is LMR-240 size.  So using a large connector seems like overkill to me.   I also invested in a good crimp tool and make all my own BNC cables and have yet to have a failure.   So to me, there is zero downside to using BNCs.  But I appreciate that others may have a different opinion.
