So why did satellite receiver manufactures chose to standardise on the F

Its the cheapest connector on the market.

Yes it is cheap but its a well engineered design. I ask you again have
you had problems with it?.

If you want a really useless abomination of a connector then the PL259
is the one(

It does hold together though - and to be fair it was designed in the
late 30's when "UHF" was anything over 100MHz. Its top frequency is
only 300MHz and its quite depressing to see kit supposedly working at
a GHz with these connectors.


Yes well we are agreed on that!.......
