Solder/Crimp pl-259

[Eldorado828]

I've used these (rfc) for a few years now and they work really well. Silver and Teflon with good quality build. Well I ran coax in the truck last week and used the last 2 and the seller is all out of them.

So I'll ask you fellas that also use this style of UHF connector, what do you use and where do you recommend to buy. I ask because after looking there seem to be endless choices and so many look sketchy.

Thank you in advance

Amp is the best.
But I use RF Industries and Laird connectors.

I don't think amphenol makes a solder and crimp connector but I may be wrong. I'm specifically speaking of solder crimp in this case as in strait solder amphenol holds the bar above the rest in any rf connector period.

I have used those and the dx engineering brand. I feel like the dex connector is better quality but have no issues with either.

I might have done this one wrong.

Thanks for your input, I saw those at dx engineering and they do look quality as pretty sure they are coming from there.
That's one way to do it (the picture)

Just checked your link and those look like a good candidate also.

I appreciate you fellas input, that's why I ask here so to hopefully spare myself from buying junk.

Ok my bad. Your looking for that specific combo.
They definitely make all crimp ones though.

Hams used make stuff. Now we buy premade wire antennas and jump through ridiculous hoops to connect balanced feedline to an unbalanced tuner.

Man that's a good source as well. There are many more suppliers of these than I knew of. Thanks for the link

DX engineering is my source as well.
