I caused a minor kerfuffle on Twitter recently, when I posted this:
https://www.k0nr.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/PL-259-Connector.png This connector, properly called a PL-259, is the most common RF connector for ham radio use. The female counterpart is called the SO-239 connector. While these connectors are often "UHF" connectors, they actually don't perform very well at those frequencies (300 to 3000 MHz). So I feel justified in
disparaging that name.
