UHF Series connectors used on 2M was the basis of my statement (0.25 each). I have gotten better results than that. That is just the estimate I used for calculating estimated line loss ahead of actual construction of the line.

In calculating cable run losses (that I have constructed) I use the figure of 0.5 dB loss per connector. Perhaps somebody makes them better than I do, however. (HI)

Hi John, K8OCL
0.5 dB loss per connector at what frequency ?
If you screw up togheter 6 Male/Female connectors you get a 3 dB attenuator and with 100 watt input 50 watt are dissipated just 50/6= 8.33 watt per connector..........too hot !
