Bob,
As others have replied, avoiding adapters is the best advice. This is especially true in outside weather and wherever the connection is subject to movement or vibration. Personally, I've used a few in the shack on permanently mounted equipment for decades without a problem as an expedient or cheapness/laziness.

As I understand it, both the vhf and uhf antennas use N connectors, is that correct?My ic-910h uses a pl 259 type connector for the vhf side.Im ordering coax...should I order N connectors, then simply use an adapter (pl259 type to N) on the radio end of the vhf coax?BibWa7dxz
