Hi David. Thanks for the information. I ordered some compression PL259s and SO239s yesterday direct from Barenco, and they arrived this morning, at a fraction of the cost I last paid from a retail Ham supplier. They look quite chunky with protective caps on the end, which I would not expect from a cheap manufacturer. I can at last get rid of the SO239 barrels that have given me intermittent problems on my long co-ax cables.
