I rechecked Mouser, Newark, and Digikey prices for the Amphenol 182102 and
the DX Engineering price was essentially the same.  So you can disregard my
note below about "slightly lower cost from the major electronic parts
suppliers".

I use the DX Engineering Ultra-Grip 2 Crimp Connector Tool Kit, the DX
Engineering RG-213 cable, and Amphenol 182102 no solder crimp connectors
(both shield and pin are crimped - no soldering required).  This combination
has provided beautiful results for me without any problems.  I will never go
back to PL-259's that require solder.

Amphenol UHF crimp connectors from DX Engineering are reasonably priced but
can usually be found at slightly lower cost from the major electronic parts
suppliers.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Crimp on Coax connectors

I'm going to have to cut and apply coax connectors to existing runs of RG8
type coax in the process of installing my SPG.

 

It's my intention to use crimp on coax connectors. I'm wondering if anyone
has had any problems with them? This is assuming they will be sufficiently
water proofed using one of the many techniques discussed here many times.

 

I really like the crimp connectors available from DX Engineering even though
they're a little more expensive.

 

Julio, W4HY
