RF connectors are generally in the "you get what you pay for" category.
After years of trying cheesy substitutes, now if it doesn't say "Amphenol"
on it, I don't buy it. Even they have come out with a "price leader" line
now. To get the price down, order in quantity from one of the big houses
like Mouser. I have given up buying *any* RF connectors from RS.
