[TowerTalk] Good quality (NOT DIY) inexpensive Hard line connectors

[Jim Brown]

There are MANY varieties of hard line of the same size, and even from 
the same manufacturer, and each requires a connector that mates it 
mechanically and electrically. Look carefully at the hard line you have, 
find a mfr and type number, and search the internet to find specs and 
mating connector types. Here's a link to notes I wrote several years ago 
after going through that process for integrating several types of used 
and surplus hard line into my own station. http://k9yc.com/HardLine.pdf
