[TowerTalk] Hardline to PL259 NOT PL258 (Barrel)

[Robert Shohet]

Double males are very prone to breakage, mechanically weak and very
expensive - if you can even find the good ones.
I don't like using double males with RG8X as they break constantly, but with
coiled hardline I know that I would be really asking for trouble.  I would
rather try almost anything else.  That's why I want to find out if there is
a good way of creating an adapter with hardline on one side and a pl259 on
the other so that I can simply screw it into a pl258 or T connector.
