After reading a lot on the discussion on hi power connecters ,
i trow in my 2cents ..hi.

Yes it's tru that profs use crimp on connecters,but you need
the perfect tool also.There is lot of garbich tools (cheap) and
for a ham operater to buy the good one ,you pay a lot of mony.
some 500 us$.To expencive for me to buy the tool to use maybe
2 times a year.Lucky i have a friend who is in the bussines in cellular
fone.He make my short cables all whit N con or 7/16 on rg213 or 214.
I use 7/8 cable to the tower,and use rg213/214 for loops.
My opininon is to go whit the 7/16 connecters for vhf/uhf use.I use them
also on hf ,because i can buy them secondhand.



Lets go again to the amps now !!!

THank you
