I have had several requests to post the results of my inquiry regarding using PL259s with RG6. I received about 15 replies...thank you everybody! The overwhelming majority said to use a CATV F connector on the RG6 and then use an F to PL259 adapter (I didn't know there was such a thing). Apparently it is available from Radio Shack, among others. Thanks again for all the relpies. 73 de N9SE Marty Ray
