Hi Michael, thanks for your observations, they're very interesting to me, as
I've pretty much found the opposite to be true, at least in terms of
ruggedness, the SMAs have been no_ match at all for the ruggedness of the
BNCs. When the BNC connecters might work loose inside the rig, they could
almost invariably be tightened up with pliers or a wrench, with little to no
chance of breaking the electrical connection to the plug, and hence the
antenna. Meanwhile, I've _never known of a sma connecter that was loose,
without its' having also experienced a connection break.
*Although they're definitely smaller, in terms of form factor, I'd still
_Much rather deal with a bnc, than with a sma, if given the chance. But to
each, his/her, own. Thanks again for your thoughts, Danny.
