No longer using Made in USA generics

Only using the Amphenol 83-1SP - PL-259 from Mouser

Subject: [TowerTalk] Soldering PL-259

    A few weeks ago, I started with a 50' length of RG-213 and, after many
attempts at soldering PL-259s, the coax was 44' long.  HI!

Lately, I have been ordering coax lengths with the connectors already
soldered.  I use them for runs from external antenna relays to the antennas.

DIN plugs are the job that I really hate.  I order a few more than I need
because of soldering errors.
