Re: [TowerTalk] T-Connectors

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
