    "content": "> I would've like to use N connectors, but the equipment has PL-259, and  \n> I don't want the losses from an adapter.\n\nBecause of the reputation of PL-259 connectors above 2 meters, i doubt you\nwill find commercially made feedline with high quality coax and PL-259\nconnectors.  But unless you can completely keep water out of your fancy\ncoax (or even 9913), after a modest number of years, it may end up having\nworse loss than RG-8...  And the popular wisdom is that even N-connectors\nare hard enough to make water tight.\n\nHere's a compromise: Use N-connectors outside, where you NEED things to\nbe weather-resistant, and use whatever-matches-your-radio inside.  The\nonly problem with that is you'll probably have to make this feedline\nyourself, or maybe find someone locally who can do it for you.\n\nBy the way, a satellite radio having PL-259 for 2 meters and N-connector\nfor 70 cm may not be such a bad thing; it makes it harder to plug in the\nwrong antennas.  Nonetheless, you might also think about which is likely\nto have greater losses at 70cm and above, a homemade PL-259 plug or an\nadapter to an N-connector.  73's and good luck!\n\n\t\t\t       -- KD6PAG \n\nP.S.  N-connectors and PL-259's share this characteristic:  Some people\nswear by them and other people swear at them...\n",
