I have one installed and does not affect my VSWR. It is a straight through. A loose connection would affect the VSWR. **Q: What type of wire do I use to ground it** A: I used a single strand of 10 gauge copper wire. **Q: What is the second screw for? Is it for mounting?** A: it is an additional ground screw ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by D***. on September 1, 2025* Well made and works perfectly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice *by R***M on January 18, 2026* Nice connector.
