[TowerTalk] Hardline to PL259 NOT PL258 (Barrel)

[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

Running  hardline to something fixed (eg, back of an amplifier) will get you
grief.

Put a flexible pigtail between a fixed connection and hardline. Use the
barrel connector solution. I had one of those on indoor and outdoor ends
last for 13 years until I took it apart when I moved. Come to think of it,
the barrel connectors *were* Amphenol.

73, Guy.
