[TowerTalk] RF Industries Connectors/Adapters

[Jim Brown]

Thanks for all the great response from guys whose judgement and 
experience I trust.

BTW -- on the basis of two interactions with Joel at RF Connections, I 
don't share the positive opinion of him. The first was when I told him a 
year or so later that all of the DIN-connectors (for control circuitry, 
not hard line) were cheap junk, and that their dielectric melted when I 
tried to solder to it, and that the terminals did not accept solder. His 
only response was "hams are cheap."

The second was when I negotiated a very large group purchase of Amphenol 
connectors and adapters for our club. He didn't agree with the price I 
had been quoted (after I had the quote and placed the order). When I 
insisted that he honor the quote, he told me he would take the 
difference out of his salesman's salary. I made my living doing 
professional audio sales to studios and broadcasters for five years, and 
I NEVER had that happen to me.
