Hi John, Amphenol has made the 83-1SP with a silver-plated body for more than 40 years and it cost less than one dollar, and is available from their entire distribution channel, which is massive. In

Good point, George. I remember about paper bag outgassing from my ancient days of semiconductor product management, when many semi leads were silver plated and then stored in cardboard...didn't work

The center conductor of 9913 fits a standard PL-259 center pin very well. It's #9.5AWG and the pin inside diameter is #9. I've never seen a PL-259 that would not accommodate the center conductor of 9

Hi Mark, I think those are both rumors or wive's tails. I've used 9913 since it was introduced to the amateur market in 1983 and an ordinary PL-259 always fit it just fine. Better, in fact, than conv

Hi Jos, I wouldn't expect to find PL-259's in an AMP catalog, since AMP doesn't make them. The original PL-259 foundry and still a very large supplier of PL-259's is AMPHENOL, which is a totally diff

Bring an HT up the tower with you, to talk to the guys below. Much better than screaming. And tell those guys below to wear hard hats. I almost got one (missed by inches) with a 13" crescent wrench t

Hi Bob, Maybe, but I've never known anyone who went to jail for an undocumented tower installation. I've known a few who have had to take them down, though. -WB2WIK/6 "Success is the ability to go fr

Sure, but since I buy good (new) ones for $.90/each, I'd better be able to rework one in less than 50 seconds or it would be cheaper to toss it out and use a new one, based on my time value. -WB2WIK/

Be careful, as what you propose is not "construction grade" concrete intended for structural applications. SACRETE + WATER = post hole filler, also okay for sidewalks, lawn trim, etc. Not okay to sup
