Where do you get good jumpers?

Just remember what a set of new transistors in that shiny power amplifier or new tube will cost you if that jumper fails... i bet you then are sorry not to have spend some more on them for better quality ones...
Just because you pay more doesn't mean you're buying better quality nor does buying from a company. Do you know who is building those cables? Did he/she go to the bar the night before and not feeling their best or is his/her mind on a cheating mate while at work and not really paying attention? I mean, what do they have to lose if they make a bad cable?
Id feel better if a cable i made failed rather than having someone else to blame and be mad at.

I always make them myself not saving money on coax and connectors.
Take the time to make them measure twice and test them out.
Specially connectorss there is a lot of bad stuff out there chinese junk.
Amphenol, silvered ones are the best i noticed after 45 years of making my own stuff, expensive but no problems.
Over the years i made a lot of them PL259 N connectors etc.
I run moderate power here 1000 watts never had one fail me though.
Skimping money on your jumpers or any antenna stuff can get very costly if things go wrong, so do it well.
That is Absolutely correct!! If you want or need something done right, do it yourself. And if you don't know how.....learn!!
