Hello, I have to agree, back in the days of Quintron they spent a lot of money trying to figure out which one was best. They found the crimp-on connectors were more dependable as we as making better connection. Them made sure because some of their transmitter ran 500 watts and their 900 MHz stations ran 300.

We did a lot of government/military work over the years and it was required to use crimp type connectors on flexible cables. They determined that it was easier to inspect and was more reliably done. When you have someone using clamp/solder connectors, everyone is different. Gregg R.
