The RF Industries RFA-4005 crimper and the RFA4005-01 5-cavity die set make
excellent RG-8X connectors. These tools are handy when you are on a high
roof (or on a tower) and don't have a soldering iron handy.
Back on topic... I am a big fan of DX Engineering and frequently purchase
from them.

As far as I can remember, RG-8X has always had a stranded center conductor.
As
for connectors, I always
used a standard PL-259 with the threaded reducer for RG-59. I've never seen
a
crimp for RG-8X.
The lack of supplied schematics is bothersome!
