DHT Electronics Handheld Antenna Cable SMA Male to UHF SO-239 Female Connectors 6'' Pack of 2

It seems to me that these pigtail cables do a much better job than one As long as you use the belt clip to hold the cable while using the radio, the adapter is all you need. Taking mechanical stress off the connector on the radio itself, which is designed for a rubber antenna and not for strain from a coaxial cable and connectors as you move the radio around while it is in use, is beneficial. There are heat-shielding properties to this product Wrap each end of the tubing in shrink tube. Through these black sleeves, the clear outer coating on the coax is less likely to stretch causing the cable to be more flexible. There is no sign of any defect in the connector. This product appears to be of good quality. The metal is machined accurately, and the pin on the center looks to be of good quality. The SO239-E has the same effect On the other end is a connector of this type. It is recommended for users who wish to extend the range of a handheld by using an external antenna.

It looks like these connectors are in good shape physically. On the shield and center pins, continuity is present and no short is present between the shield and signal conductor, as measured by an ohm meter. The SDR1A however did not work with this adapter, and I spent a substantial amount of time troubleshooting it, thinking it was something wrong with the receiver. A SWR of 1 has been measured with this cable connected to my antenna analyzer A score of 5 or above out of 6 A 60MHz frequency. In addition to the frequency I measured, I did not measure any others. Unfortunately, I had no luck picking up FM radio broadcast bands with the SDR1A. It appears that my Yaesu FT3D did manage to pick up some signal but the level of amplitude was somewhat diminished. It is likely that this cabling is incompatible with RF signals, or that there is a construction issue with the termination of the cable. It is possible that this cable was intended to carry In order to test this cable, I used one by American Radio Supply and it had a SWR of 1. I removed switch 1 and used 50 ohm load and now everything works as it should.

Cable assemblies for adapters are well made and of good quality. In describing this product, the words "sheerness" and "stretch" are meaningless. I purchased the NanoVNA- that I compared to other products. If you want to connect a transmit connector to a PL-F, you would need at least one of these cables This is a male plug 259 There is a standard SO-type plug on this cable The female coaxial end of the 239 receptacle is used This is a male plug 259 Connecting the small end to the Vector Network Analyzer is a female SMA connector that connects to the male receptacle.

With this order, I now have six in total. Their crimped nature means that they will pull out if there is even the slightest strain. It is almost impossible to attach them again once they are detached, even with a microscope, an octopus tray, and a mini soldering iron. After they are separated, you have to attach a strain relief to keep them from pulling apart. It is too small to be drilled, but the larger fitting may be able to be accommodated. The 8 conductor twisted pair cable I used for soldering is excellent. In the end, necessity is the mother of prototypes (not pretty, but hey, we all have to start somewhere. In a perfect world, you would have a very thin stainless steel cable with mechanical connections. Adding this to my list of profitable things that would improve the world would be a great thing. In other words, if you want to improve this product you had better get started!.

Shorted the cable, as it turns out. You're in danger! I noticed that the PA in my radio was not working well after using this adapter for a few months. There is a short in this cable! This poor quality item cost me dearly as I had to replace my radio due to its poor quality. Buying this will not benefit you!.

A SMA male and a SO-male connector are on each of the ends of the cable The connector for UHF 239 is shown in Figure 2. I can live with the male SMA connector, but I can't deal with the male SO-type There are no connections available on the 239 connector. The way this is possible is beyond me, but my PL-based system works flawlessly The 259 connectors cannot fit into the center of the SO-type This connector is 239-compatible. It did not fit into this socket regardless of how many coaxial cables or adapters I tried This connector is 239-compatible. There is a problem with the center connection of the connector. It has a small ID.

The cable is not expected to withstand harsh field conditions, according to an update from September 15, 2021. If the installation were static or if it were a permanent one The conditions in the laboratory are controlled. In spite of careful handling, the center conductor failed after 2 months It was lucky that I was checking the SWRs at the time. The odds are certainly stacked against us There are benefits to protecting your electronics from cable strain, and there are also drawbacks to this type of product. A fixed adapter is used. My second one still has the wire in it, so I am being extra careful not to twist it (center conductor) in any way. Item review -- >

============================================Original This product is in the following condition The description follows. I find it to be very useful.

Although they appear to be good, and they work fairly well, the connection between the cable and the SMA plug is not strong enough. My connection is too weak in two of these cables, so they have both gone bad on me. From the coax connected at the point where there is a so-called dead spot, there is too much strain on the connection The end of 239 is reached.
