[TowerTalk] push on pl 259's

[Joe Eide]

Dave,

The guy on eBay sells the Amphenol connector.  The first two links are a 
different brand of connector.  The Amphenols are a one piece quality 
connector and the others are a two piece which I personally don't like 
as well.  The Amphenol number is 83-5SPA if I remember correctly.
