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

[Grant Saviers]

Are you sure you have 50 ohm coax?  The CATV distribution rems are 75 
ohm.  Cable Z is the starting point for your research.

Some of the surplus around 0.5" od is SFX500 (bare), IF it is 50 ohm.  
The connectors are readily available new, check ebay for N & 7/16 DIN.   
UHF are really rare.

Power rating for SFX500 is 5KW to 30MHz and that's the baby size of what 
you have.
