Um, Kam, could I get that N connector?

After doing some reading I've discovered a big flaw in my cabling plan. The RG-58 cable, especially at the legnth I was going to use, and the BNC connectors will cause a lot of signal loss at 2.4GHz. I'm going to investigate LMR cable and I would like to use N connectors.

Sigh... tain't RF fun!

And the funny thing is -- the genesis for the big computer clubs in this area was straight from the Hams. Guess back in those days they were the only ones who knew what a soldering iron was and you really did have to build your own computer virtually from scratch. (MIPS Altair and friends.)
