CenterPin makes a nice model for RG-8X and RG-58 that's sold through
Shakespeare
http://www.shakespeare-marine.com/electronics/accessories/centerpin.htm. I
don't see a version for RG-8U. CenterPin also has N, F and BNC connectors
http://www.centerpin.com/. I've had good luck with the PL-259s and BNCs. I
believe both are available through West Marine.

Subject: SPAM-LOW: Re: [TowerTalk] Crimp on PL259
Ed and all: There is a UHF connector for RG213-214 that goes on almost
like an N connector. It needs only soldering of the center pin. I
think this is one of the best kept secrets in ham radio. I do not know
the part number but Joel, W3RFC, at The RF Connection sells them. (the
rfc.com) Really easy to put on, reliable and almost foolproof. About
the same cost as a standard PL259 without the hassle. I installed ten
of them yesterday in about 40 minutes.
To specifically answer your question, yes there are crimp PL259's
available.Try Joel. I have never used one. 73 bob de w9ge
