Re: [amsat-bb] N connectors

[Anthony Monteiro <aa2tx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used the 2-piece N connectors and they certainly
are fine at 435 MHz. I haven't tested them above that.

However, crimp connectors are so much easier - I
highly recommend them. Does anyone actually enjoy
soldering connectors? :)
