I have bought some really lousy junk connectors from the RF Connection, and when I tried to get real tech info from them on coax they wanted to sell to a DXpedition, I got nothing but a salesman's bluster. > I have paid 2-3 times as much for Amphenol barrels Yes, Amphenol is more expensive than cheap junk. How much does it cost to get someone to climb a tower? How much do you spend to go on a DXpedition? How much time do you lose chasing intermittent problems? > but not found them any better than good quality imports. How would you KNOW if they are any good or not? Have you cut one open to see what it looks like? Have you done any serious power tests? Have you done serious loss or reflection measurements? Have you put stress on them to break them mechanically? I used them in my station and nothing blew up (yet)? That isn't a real test, it's luck. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
