[ICOM] What is wrong with SMA?

[Ed Yeary]

IMHO they are fragile and hard to adapt to other applications. Adapters have 
been hard to find and are expensive. Probably due to the relative newness of 
them. Also haven't you heard? Hams don't like change !!!!!! Do I need to 
mention the CW debate? (:]
