Only been at this a year or so Jack.. so I am still considered a
'Newbie' myself..! I have learned a lot from the Pro's..(as I call them
guys..) and still learning! I was told to stay away from the Crimp
Type.. and go with Clamp Type myself! A lot of money for a tool you may
only use a few times. I picked up 150' of LMR-600 which will be cut
into two lengths.. so needed a couple connectors to complete. I
purchased 10 from
http://www.hyperlinktech.com/item.aspx?id=1012
Have yet to try them.. and they may not be 'Top Dollar Good
Connectors'.. But until I do.. ?
I thought the price was pretty good.. maybe they have something your
looking for as well !
I do not work for them or are in any way affiliated with them.. just
parts like N Connectors are 'very scarce' in these parts ! Good Luck
with your search..
