[Mr. ortel]

I understand it's common practice to use 'type-N' coax connectors or like 
components at the end of the antenna and at the end of the 
transmitter/receiver.
if you only need one antenna, why not solder it?
do you lose db if you skip the connector? compared to the about 1 db you 
lose from typical type-n connectors.
At $8-9 for one set of connectors, I am not sure it's worth the hassle, plus 
i cannot find a electronic store near me that carries anything but RG/58 
connectors.
what has been your feelings about the need for these parts?
Thanks,
James Bittner
