[TowerTalk] LMR400-PL259s

[jeremy-ca]

Amphenol outside, cheap ones indors has been my distribution.
The cheap ones are more than sufficient for jumpers, feedline stubs, patch 
cables, etc. After awhile the savings add up and I havent had a failure 
indoors since Van Gorden came out with them in the 80's.

Either type works with no filing with RG-11 foam and its #10 center 
conductor.
