There is no hypocrisy. The election lie stuff is what the fascist think tank has defined as a component of their takeover strategy. It is as separate in their mind from reality as what a character in a book is eating for dinner versus what they themselves are eating for dinner.

Completely different attachment method designed for consumer applications - meanwhile aerospace uses crimp connectors precisely for their repeatability.

If you get a nanovna you have all the tools you need to prove your cable assemblies are to spec. (And, at the same time, there is no real guarantee preassembled cables are done properly - I’ve seen utter rubbish SMAs with wrong dimensions or stamped pins, cables with steel or aluminum conductors instead of copper or with almost no shield, and substandard assembly techniques used.)

Known-good preassembled cables can’t be obtained from Aliexpress or Amazon, and the cost of quality vendors makes improving my own craft worth it!

there is no real debate, just like there is no real debate that climate change is happening.

It is a ruse, a “big lie” repeated over and over again as a long-term strategy to gain authoritarian control.

there has never been any evidence of unregistered or unpermitted voters casting ballots beyond a few dozen isolated cases over the last 25 years - a vanishingly small occurrence among the billions of votes cast. Almost any method to “fix” those few dozen occurrences wipes out hundreds of thousands to many millions of valid voters; an intended result of the disenfranchisement strategy.

if you have settled on that as a standard connector, you can make a good buy out of 50m of LMR240UF, a crimping tool frame, die set matching the cable/connector, and 10 packs of Amphenol SMA connectors.

You might get both male and female SMA since female will match a lot of handheld radios, and you can make “extension cords” with one end male and the other female, and you can mount the female ones through a hole in an enclosure or feedthrough plate.

It’s also nice to have a few UHF/PL259 and N connectors - invariably you will have some equipment with them.

Then you would be equipped to make exactly the right length cables with exactly the right connectors and known high-quality materials.
