I use the MC2 connectors with the stinger. I trim the stinger back to about 1/2in. Then I affix an N barrel connector to the stinger with a pl259 ferrule.This make a real good connection. I wouldnt want to use something I could not depend on at 850ft in the air.

I am not sure what size cable the MC2 you mentioned are for, but I used a standard 1/2 inch hard line connector for 50 ohm cable on some 72 ohm CATV cable by adding a brass sleeve to the center conductor. My CATV cable was aluminum center conductor with copper plating, and the brass sleeve I obtained from a hobby shop fit the center conductor OD and was the right size for the connector ID. I swett soldered the brass sleeve to the center conductor and it assembled just fine. It has all been playing for about 5 years now. --- On Thu, 8/28/08, WA Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: WA Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Repeater-Builder] MC2 hardline connectors needed.
