[TowerTalk] Amphenol PL259

[Dave Harmon]

Generally I agree except for a small but critical point.....
If you are using Davis Bury-Flex you will need the larger center pin ID of
the 83-1SP.
Yeah, yeah....I know you can probably find the el' cheapo connectors that
will fit the BF but I have never seen any....and I ain't gonna look.
One thing I will never do though is cut any strands of the center conductor
to make it fit some crummy connector that I have to scrape to get solder to
flow.
50 cents is not even chump change.
Get the good stuff....parts is not parts.

Teflon is Teflon, no matter who makes the connector.  Unless you are using a

3000 watt soldering gun, at full power, one is not going to melt the Teflon 
dielectric.  (When using the silver plated connectors!)  I just can't see 
paying the 50 cents extra apiece for the Amphenols' when the no name 
silver/Teflon connectors work (and last) just as well.
