PL259 vs Type N connectors

Which would you rather have?
A 36.2 ohm PL259 or A 50 ohm Type N connector?
Keep in mind by using the pl-259 connector you effectively change the characteristic impedance of the cable rendering many theories about impedance remaining constant totally useless.
( it's no longer a 50 ohm cable with a 36.2 ohm connector unless it is a multiple of a half wavelength terminated with a 50 ohm Purely resistive load )

 

Here is the impedance bump on a time domain reflectometer..

 

Correct for end user.
How about test bench accuracy during radio alignment and tune?

 

More like a 40 mile difference if you compare ridgelines results to my results. That's a pretty drastic difference. And Ridgeline had to resort to an NVIS antenna to bounce his signal to a single location 40 miles away while I was using just a plain vertical blanketing an 80 -mile stretch of Interstate. That's a huge difference

 

When you sit in the same spot for 10 hours chatting on the radio all day and every five minutes somebody gets on the radio and says "I've been listening to you for the last hour and a half" that's a pretty big deal.
Or when you're backed into a loading dock in Temecula California having a two-way conversation with "Traveling Salesman" sitting in his car 50 miles north of you in Fontana California that's pretty impressive.
Or when you can have a 30 minute conversation with a guy in a dump truck with a stock Cobra 29 and stock antennas at a 45 mile distance that is a huge deal. If you don't have a 50 ohm test bench you can't get results like that.
To say that any technician anywhere in the country is capable of duplicating those results on a consistent basis is totally insane. You either have to call me a liar about what my station is capable of doing or you have to acknowledge that very few technicians are capable of producing results like that.
