Straight or Reverse Polarity - Big Difference!
Straught and reverse RF connectors
At one time all connectors were straight.  Boys were boys and Girls were girls then along came the Government...


In order to regulate WiFi and try to create connectors specialized for it's use we have the FCC and the wonderful concept of RP (Reverse Polarity).  Now we have Females with Male Pins and Males with Female innards.  See the picture here of SMAs, but TNCs, BNCs, Ns and others can all be Straight or RP depending on their use.  Take a look at the photos and if you don't know which you need Please Ask.

Solder VS Crimp Connectors

For many years now the commercial standard has been to Crimp, Clamp or Compress connectors onto cable assemblies.  Crimped connections simply provide better shielding, retention, service life and ease of installation.  HAM purists of the old school scoff at the very idea!  This is so true that we continue to offer quality Soldered PL-259s as our standard UHF connection. We use Silver plated connectors to assure a good solder joint and Silver solder to make the connections.  Most Hams just seem to desire this.  While we will continue to offer PL-259s standard we will provide the same Crimp UHF connectors we use on our own installs upon request.
