[TowerTalk] Crimp on Coax connectors

[W3YY]

Hi Dick -

 

It looks like there are Amphenol PL-259 and N-series crimp connectors for
LMR-400 that allow crimping the center pin. See the DXE chart and the "Hex
crimp center pin" row in the chart at

DXE carries at least the PL-259 types in their catalog.

You have to solder the center pin if it's not designed to be crimped, as is
the case with LMR-400 compatible UHF crimp connectors like the ones from
DXE.
