🔌 WLAniot SO-239 UHF Female Jack RF Coax Connector - 4 Hole Flange Chassis Mount Solder Straight for LMR-400 Coaxial Cable (2 Pack) Review

In the 70's I used the US version ($40). I was looking for this the other day and came across this one. They seem to be built quite nicely. For the $ they are worth trying.

I used some of these to make a grounded quarter wave antenna. Worked well for me with the right soldering and building techniques.

I was building an antenna analyzer and needed a connector for a project. These SO-239 are very well made and I love the quality. Recommendation: It was a good buy.

I picked up a gray electrical junction box from Home Depot and other parts - I made a 1:1 balun and used these connectors on my RG8X - did works well , no problems with female connector like other brands.

I wanted to buy Amphenol but the next day I wanted plugs. They are well made and have tight tolerances so both connectors accept the connector smoothly with no sticking. The insulating core is made of high quality PTFE and does not melt. The quality of the metal is very good, the central pin is gold plated and well finished. They're almost as good as Amphenol for half the price. I like to use them in my magnetic loop antenna. Good value for money. I would buy again without hesitation.

I will bend by bending 4 brass rods, threading them into the bent ends and attaching the bent ends to the four screw holes. Then I attach the fifth brass rod to the center pin. Finally I trim all 5 brass rods to 1/4 the wavelength I want to transmit. (2 meters, 1.2 meters or 70 centimeters) To install this antenna I attach the coax cable to the connector, run the coax cable through a length of PVC pipe, insert the pipe into the flag pole mount and la viola! for less than $20 for a cheap but…
