[TowerTalk] PL-259 Crimp Connectors

[Dave - W3NP]

I have recently started using crimp connectors for RG-213 and have been 
pleased with the installation procedure and the finished product.
Mine are made by Amphenol and are 083-8SP-RFX.  They are crimped at the 
shield and soldered at the center conductor.
