Jim,

I know of a source that I used when I had my antenna company for Type "F" female "T" connectprs. It's not Amphenol and I don't know if they will sell to an individual. Maybe they'll send you a sample!

Try Sparta Industries in Scottsdale, AZ (602) 995-1477. The part number is SP-287.

Good luck.

73,

Joe, W1JR

I have been unable to find the following on the web, perhaps someone "in the industry" can tell me if it exists.

I am looking at Amphenol brand T-Connectors that are F X F X F, all three connection points are female. I am like a bunch of others getting ready to do the stub thing - it is too hot in FL to do antenna work now - and am hoping to go this route since I can use them without any double female on that middle tee point.

If I can fabricate up all my stubs, separation lines, etc. with PL259's it will be easy to put it all together...

Several of the usual ham radio connector suppliers have FXFXF fittings but they are imports.

Over the past 30 years of hamming and a lot of connector failures I have adopted a personal "only Amphenol" rule (others feel the same way - it just isn't worth it to gamble on a connector of dubious quality) and am going to try and stick with it...

SO, are you in the trade and have an Amphenol catalogue... from what I see on the web they only have F X M X F option.

Thanks,

Jim, K4OJ
