Several posters have mentioned proper connectors and tools for crimping PL-259s but I am lacking specifics. Do you have recommendations for brands/models of connectors and tools? If it's affordable, I'd consider trying it.
Unlike 90% of hams, I don't worship solder. I'm prepared to believe that crimped connectors can work just fine if done properly. The world is full of crimped connections of all kinds, and they work fine unless they're done with a crummy tool. The hardware store cutter/stripper/crimper that uses an oval shaped recess to mash the connector to a flattish shape is a very good example of a very bad tool. 73, Carl WS7L ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
