Steve,

I can't either but I recently changed all of my station cabling to RG-400 
inside and LMR400 outdoors.   I'm using crimped PL-259 inside only; soldered 
PL-259 outdoors.  My fears may be unfounded but I would rather not have to 
ask the question during times of poor performance whether the problem is 
related to the use of crimped connectors.
