Don, I have to wonder: Who makes the mini-UHF connector that is the problem? My connector of choice is the RFU-600-6 crimp connector made by RF Industries. It's available through TESSCO and other commercial radio supply houses. This connector works on MaxTrac, Radius, GM300, M1225, R1225, and CDM radios, so I feel it also will work on GTX and Spectra radios.
Don't worry about a "puny" 110 watt radio; the mini-UHF is specified up to 2.5 GHz and better than 2,000 watts. Well, that is the spec for the RF Industries connector, which is machined brass and has silver-plated contacts and a PTFE dielectric. Some of Amphenol's economy connectors have a phenolic insulator that may not perform as well. YMMV! 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 2:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Mini - UHF Connector I have a Problem in Finding a GOOD Mini UHF Connector for The Motorola GTX And Spectra 900 Mhz . . The problem is No Matter how Tight with a Pair Pliers I get them they still are loose, While taking another look on the ones I got NO Matter how tight the Outer ring it will NOT Make a difference Because it is Hitting the Back of the connector on the Radio Before it Tightens up And the other Part is Loose. , I Took a Dremel and Cut off Part of the Back of the adapter, that Works Great. But I need to Know what everyone else is using, Maybe Amphenol and Part Number. Also I got a Motorola Spectra VHF-UHF 110 Watts Coming soon, . I cannot believe they use a Mini UHF On the radios at that Power. Thanks Don KA9QJG
