My fellow hams...
Please help save me. I've fallen into the trap of BNC.
I want to BNC everything and get away from that god awful "UHF" connector so-239/pl-259.
Please tell me why I shouldn't switch completely to bnc.
I can do it on the G90, doesn't look that hard.
My window pass through is all "UHF" connectors, I would have to build a new one.
I can probably switch all my coax over time.

Love my BNC
I just can overstate my diskllike for the so-called "UHF" connector.
It sucks at the thing its named after, probably fine for HF.
Non-constant impedance
Easy to cross thread
Easy to not seat fully
Center pin breaks sometimes and you can't tell
Hard to attach/detach constantly
Bulky and heavy for travelling
Hard to solder because it needs so much heat
I just want to purge it from my shack.

TNC and N are both considered better than BNC. Worth looking if you are swapping anyway.
Note that UHF are not in my consideration there. I also plan to begin removing them from my shack as I can.
Swap one pair at a time so you don't end up with a shack with no connectors and no way to get on the air.
