I'll say it again, Changing to an "N" on the radio is "gilding the lily", but for max performance saving every fraction of a db is heading in the right direction...

So, as it turns out, HRO had a duplexer with an N connector on the antenna side. I just need to see about changing the connector on the antenna (and actually mounting my N-connectors), and I don't have to change the connector on the radio.

My PL-259s were all silver-plated. So are the Ns, but they are not crimp-on; I'll still have to solder them. The part that gets soldered is of substantially lower mass than the PL-259, so hopefully it'll go better. Sigh.
