This has been hashed here before, but:
You can use those two-piece N connectors made for 9913 in the same
way - you need a UG-176 adapter made for RG-8X (Mini-8) to collar over
the FSJ-1 and solder it in place - then carefully screw the main section
of the 9913-N connector onto the adapter -
Well, I made an interesting discovery today.
My local hobby store carries K+S hobby metal. Their 9/16 tubing makes
almost an exact collett for taking up the space between the FSJ1-50 and
the LMR-400 crimp style N connectors. A 3' piece cost me almost $4 with
tax.
So, I cleaned the tubing with

True, it has somethng to do with the fact that nickel is a magnetic
metal. Read the explanation somewhere long ago, no clue where anymore.

Nickel-plating, especially in a duplex application, can cause a
dissimiliar metals reaction with the body of the connector, which is in
turn an intermod source.

There's been some good input as far as connector style. I guess a follow-up
question that comes to mind would be, how do people feel about silver vs.
nickel/USA vs. import? Thanks all.

I would recommend the clamp type of connectors. That way you don't
need to get special tools to do the crimping.
The only tools needed for the clamp type are for stripping the cable,
measuring the cable to strip and cut it, cutters to trim the shield
and the center conductor. And a couple of w
