Hello Greg,
Uh - Oh...
This is almost like the true north thread. Well discussed, addressed,
here.
Crimp Connectors seem to have every thing...Reliability, speed/ease of
installation, longevity, if proper tools are used. Especially good choice
in your situation. Preferred method for Aircraft installations, though for
BNCs and N connectors, not PL-259s.
