I fell victom to that with my first pair. We are close enough in northern IL that it is important to know what is coordinated in Mighigan. From what I hear MI dosen't play well with others so IL and some other states are ignoring them now and just dealing with the problems after the fact. In my opinion thats BS, but such is life. Not to mention the extra $100 I had to spend to re-crystal because michigan could't just say "no, we have a link there" instead of the blanket No. I think theres a commercial on TV with David Spade working at the MI repeater council right now ;) Sorry for the rant, off my soapbox now.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Crimp versus Clamp Connectors
That's exactly what I have been thinking. Don't blame the connector just because someone installed it wrong or because they subjected it to a condition that they shouldn't have. I was at a two-meter repeater site not long ago helping chase down some "issues." On top of the rack was discovered what was thought to be an unused coil of RG-8 cable. Nope. It was about 75' of coax that was sitting there between the duplexer and the heliax. When it was closer inspected, the shields were never soldered to the shells of the PL-259 connectors. Obviously the whole mess was a poor install, but to whomever left it that way, I'm sure that they left thinking they'd done everything right.
