[TowerTalk] LMR-600: Crimp or Clamp Connectors?

[john at kk9a.com]

I am not familiar with this cable, can it run directly to the antenna or
do you need a different cable for the rotator loop?

I'm going to replace all of the RG213 coax on my current tower with
LMR-600. I've been researching connectors.

Looks like there are two varieties, crimp and clamp connectors. After
watching a few you tube videos of the installation process of both, I'm
leaning towards the crimp type. It does require a good crimp tool, but it
looks a little more robust than the clamp variety.

Any opinions out there if one is better than the other?

Thanks
