Impedance "bump" Of An Elbow Connector

Kanalz, Karl #7450 Elbows for "UHF" series connectors are not "constant impedance" (e.g., 50 ohms), but then, neither are the connectors they attach to (the SO-239 and PL-258)! They are merely a convenience. On the other hand, BNC connectors and their accessories (such as elbows) were originallyt designed to maintain a constant impedance through the connector(s).

Subject: [FT817] Re: No need to cut green wire or ream wider hole for bnc connector First, I hear bad things about impedences of elbows (yes, I know, that can be true of any connector, but why add a known problem?). Second, I don't like the mechanical stability with a (relatively) long, heavy antenna such as the ATX. Especially as I will be operating /PM backpacking w/20 to 30 kg, and sometimes I get a little wobbly climbing over deadfall trees, boulders, etc. My dad had a business repairing undergound coal-mining equipment & I learned to over-engineer mechanical solutions from him. <snip>
