[Yaesu] What is wrong with SMA?

[Rob Atkinson]

I have a friend who has used both sma and bnc and he prefers
sma.  he says the bnc eventually breaks after repeated stress on the
connector when the HT is on a belt and the duck is sticking up against
his side, due to the nature of the bnc design in which the male can rock
a bit back and forth on the two pins that stick out on the jack.  with 
sma the
male threads on and is solid.
