[TowerTalk] compression PL259

[Gary "Joe" Mayfield]

Years ago, I bought several at (believe it or not!) Radio Shack.  When I
went back they did not have more and their web site does not show them.

A web search did find this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/N-male-plug-clamp-RG8-RG165-RG213-LMR400-connector-/3206
19671452?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa66bef9c

73,
