[TowerTalk] PL 259 crimp connectors for RG 400

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Mark -

I've been pleased with connectors from http://www.davisrf.com/rf-connectors.php

They have generic and Amphenol. If the connectors came from the same vendor as the coax and doesn't fit, it could be the "generic" coax that's off. In any case, they should fix it.

I would prefer a generic connector for this application vs a pricey name brand one.   I'm making up some patch cords for portable work and they may only last a for a few outings.
