[TowerTalk] UHF (PL259) Connector Supplier

[William J. Nicosia]

             These are my choices for connectors/cable, no failures 
since 2009:

             RG-213, Davis RF, Marine Grade, White Jacket.

             UHF/PL-259, RF Parts Co., Crimp Type.

             Cable Prep Tools, DX Engineering Kit.

             Cush Craft, PVC Push-On Boots

             My technique is to crimp the braid ferrule with the proper 
tool and solder the tip (no crimp). If you can find them install the 
Cush Craft boot first.                     Anybody who knows a supplier 
of these, let me know. Finally, solder the tip. Fill the pin on the 
connector.

             No failures caused by bad connector or cable prep or 
corrosion since 2009. Adding some dielectric grease to the connector 
threads is not a bad                 idea either.

             Bill, W2ZKX
