I've been spoiled over the years with making crimped BNC connectors (both pin and shield) but I no longer have access to that. About a year ago there appeared a "New Product" listing in QST for a right proper PL-259 crimper requiring only soldering the center conductor. I haven't bought one (yet) but it did look interesting. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
