Generally you get what you pay for. It never ceases to amaze me guys will
go out and put up a $1000 dollar antenna on a $1000 tower and put some surplus
manure coax and cheesey Chinese PL-259s...and then bitch about high SWR, how
the antenna doesn't work etc.
Penny wise, pound foolish.Go out and invest in some Belden, Times and
Amphenol stuff..
The only low quality connectors I ever bought were cheap...and cheaply made.
There's nothing like having a T-connector fall apart as you tighten the
connections to your stack at 150 feet up. No, it wasn't an Amphenol.
