Been reading this reflector about UHFs. Could I please get some recommendations for SOURCE of CRIMPER and its brand. Also UHF crimp-PL259s. Will read reflector, but if someone wants to email it's bel
I would like that have info too. I spend WAY too much time soldering PL-259s. Also, what about stripping the cable for installing the crimp PL-259s? is there a tool for that? If so, how necessary/imp
Ivan, You'll likely get several responses, but I use the RF Industries crimping set, model RFA-4005-501. It's not the most inexpensive kit available, but it contains several dies for many popular coa

This looks like a great deal through DXEngineering: http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-ut-kit-crimp In addition to the crimper, dies, and precision diagonal cutters for trimming loose braid, it a
Could I please get some recommendations for SOURCE of CRIMPER and its brand. Also UHF crimp-PL259s. I purchase connectors through thr RFC, and Davis. I order over the phone and tell them what I want.
Someone spoke about crimpers and connectors from RF Industries. I've been on their web page and they have a very large selection of commercial grade connectors and Kits that come complete with the to
So now that we know UHF connectors impedance means beans until 500 MHz ... Which is more reliable In the long term N or UHF? What about installation ease? After soldering a 1000 UHFs in my lifetime a

"They have a very large selection of connectors and their UHF connector sells for 2.51 each. I was also advised that if I went to one of their distributors the price should be a bit less than what t
One other note on the connector price that I neglected to mention is that their UHF connectors come in bags of 25 each. They gave me two distributors names Powell Electronics at 954.418.8377, and Eas
I do not know of any such list. I would call the manufacturer of your dies and ask them about the ones you have. There must be some kind of numbers associated with them. Good luck. 73 Pete N4KW On 11
