[NLRS] BNC elbow

[Dan Larson]

I don't know if its out of the same batch of connectors or not, 
but I bought a 90 BNC elbow there (the "Candy Store", and it fell 
apart the first time I tried to use it. They gladly exchanged it, 
but I have since become adverse to using adapters of any kind now, 
unless absolutely necessary.....

I would gladly pay two to three times as much for a GOOD QUALITY 
adapter after my experiences, but, no matter where I buy them from, 
they all seem to become intermittent after being used for a while.
Thats hard to take at $3-$5 a piece for the crappy ones which are
all I can seem to find. I speak in general terms for all RF adapters,
but especially the SO-239 to SMA adapters for the HT's!

Its best to avoid them completely, in my somewhat jaded opinion....
