821, I'm not sure, but in considering the results in this report maybe we might have to consider that we have several of these connectors in our setup. Allowing for this factor alone we might experience some compounding effects in a real world installation.

I think this report measured and compared single pairs or combinations of a male and female and a barrell connector in order to represent a complete system or unit. So, maybe the loss noted with UHF connectors does not represent what we might experience in our real world setups where we might use multiples of such units.

If I run my feed line direct to my radio I will have two of the devices tested and if I add an inline SWR meter, a switch box, or one or two amps, the number of units and losses really starts to add up.

At 400 mkz I think the report noted as one unit showing 6 watts of reflection with 25 watts of input. Would you reconsider your claim, if your 440 rig was connected using 4 or more of these units as tested in the report?

I don't understand everything in the report either, but just looking at the pictures doesn't always tell the whole story and for sure if we try to relate the results noted to our own real world experiences.
