Some hams, being cheep, go to a hamfest flea market and buy the least
expensive PL259s they can find.
My "professional" suggestion is that the Amphenol 83-1SP, which is
mass-produced in Mexico, is the best choice. It has a silver plated
plug and a nickle plated shell. Another good choice is the PL259 made
by Andros in Rochester NY.
Both connectors will work without modification with all RG213 type
cables, including LMR400 and 9913.
