Default RF Connectors

Charles,

If you want to go in together and get some connectors, I am game.

I have an ample supply of Mini-UHF crimp-on for RG58 (probably 75+)

I have -
25 SMA Crimp Ons both male and female (25 of each).
45 "N" Crimp on males for RG58
5 "N" Crimp on males for RG59/RG6/RG8X (could use some of these)
4 BNC Crimp on male for RG58 (could use some more of these)
25 UHF Crimp on males for RG58

I could probably use 20 or so Mini-UHF females for RG58.

Also, any others you can think of you want to get, I will split them
with you. Generally, whatever you need, I will need also.

I agree with you about the TNC's. Very little equipment out there with
these on it. Mostly see them on the old style cell phones and a few GE
commercial units (circa early 80's). If I run across something with a
TNC, I will just put an adapter on it or if I am REALLY ambitious, I
will take the TNC off and put a Mini-UHF bulkhead on it.

I think the last quantity I ordered was from Global Connectors (gcplus
link below) and had real good luck with them. The PL259.com is the same
outfit that sold you your crimpers at Charlotte.


Here are a couple of links where I have bought connectors in the past-

http://www.pl-259.com/catalog.html (these people seem to have lots of
adapters but not a lot of crimp on connectors....maybe drop them an
email and ask)

As you can see, tessco can be a bit pricey on the "N" connectors.



As you can see, Pasternack is insane.
