| My .02 on this; the correct connector *designed* for the specific job will stop 
errors in hookup before they can occur.  Sure as shootin' someone will hook up 
a pl-259 to a so-239 and truly, " the sparks will fly".
I do not build hardly anything anymore, but when I do I do it safely so that no 
fool (yours truly included) cannot make a grievous mistake.

  And for decades cars didn't have air bags, seat belts or padded
  dashes. They relied on drivers to operate "safely". Was that a good
  idea?
