Great idea Mike! I can see how the o-ring will keep a little pressure on the
connector threads to keep it from vibrating loose.
Thanks,

You beat me to it Mike! I've been using this trick
for many years on excavating equipment or any other
vehicle that takes a beating.
Same here in Atlanta. Our last decent local house just went out of
business. Wonder how long it will take for thru hole components to go away?

Well Eric it is Probably My fault for Actually using The Mini-Uhf Connectors
bought at Radio Shack.,Sometimes that is all that's Close when We are in

Recommended.
Thanks to all who helped direct and on the Group
Thats funny, I was just reading your original post and when you
mentioned tightening with pliers I was about to reply asking if you were
using the RS connectors. I have a friend that used those and could
never figure out why he had so many problems.

Well Eric
I stay away from Radio Shack connectors whenever possible. I had a PL-259
on a jumper that stripped out when I was tightening it HAND-TIGHT onto an
SWR meter once. a real piece of crap. R/S overall quality has REALLY
suffered over the years. Shame, too, since the other local electronics
supply
