Topband: Replacing F Connectors with BNCs

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Hi Pete,

I wonder why you've decided to switch to BNCs?   They have their own issues and they've completely unsuitable for outdoor use.
I wonder if perhaps you've been using poor quality F connectors?

Subject: Topband: Replacing F Connectors with BNCs

I have finally decided to go through my RX antenna systems and replace 
all the F connectors with BNCs. My coax is all RG-6 Quad shield. I 
would like to find an all-crimp BNC male solution, or failing that, one 
that only requires soldering the center conductor.

Any advice on which connectors would be best, or which to stay away from?
