[TowerTalk] Hardline connector selection

[Steve Maki]

Why is the type unknown if you already have it? I'd be careful about 
spending much money on connectors before I verified the coax model.

Andrew LDF5 isn't even made anymore other than under special order. AVA5 
is the general replacement, and that is what you'll commonly find 
available nowadays. L5 connectors won't work on AVA5 - you need either 
A5 connectors or AL5 connectors.
