I am interested in the Andros Manufacturing N and UHF connectors.
I checked out there website but cant find pictures of these connectors
to look at.
Do they have an online catalog that gives info and pics ?

You're asking exactly the right questions, Hector.

I use UHF connectors when
attaching RG-213 to Heliax. If they are not available, and I have never

adapter and I think those are typically DIN to N. N connectors are dirt
cheap and work well if properly installed.
I agree, John. UHF connectors are the best choice for use at all
frequencies up to and including 6M. Also, when adapters are used, it's
VERY important that they be of very good quality. I try to avoid
adapters as much as possible, simply because good ones are expensive,
and I have learned the hard way that cheap adapters are JUNK, and a
source of problems that can be hard to track down.
I use mostly N-connectors on all of my hardline, simply because UHF
connectors are available only for LDF4. Everything else in my station is
UHF, either Amphenol or whatever Polyphaser uses on their arrestors and
manufacturers use on their equipment. When I need to mate 0.4-in coax to
an N connector, I use the excellent male N-connectors made by Andros
Engineering. Try them once and you'll never go back. :)

I see that they are now making F and UHF connectors. I need to look at
them.

I've been gradually converting to all DINs everywhere that it's
reasonable. Female DINs on main lines which are 1-5/8", and male DINs
on the rotor loops and jumpers, which are Buryflex, LMR400, etc.
Male DINs for the braided coax are not cheap, but I recently purchased
some direct from China at around $12 each, and there was no shipping
charge. They are very good quality.
