[TowerTalk] Junk Connectors (was Re: How lossy are PL-259s at HF?)

[Steve Walter]

I bought a bunch of Amphenol 83-1SP connectors from Davis RF for my tower
project.  No problems until I tried to mate them to an Array Solutions
StackMatch;  they could not get started...talk about frustrating!  They
worked fine on everything else I have here.  Other PL-259s worked on the
StackMatch.  I ended up replacing the SO239s on the SM with Amphenol and
the problem was solved.  Joel at RF Connection who supplied Array Solutions
the SO239s blamed the 83-1SPs.  I was skeptical.....maybe not so much now
that I hear Rons report.
