I stock them... they're expensive now at about $4.95 each in bulk, $6.45 each in singles... but they're still around. They easily do 500-MHz and higher. I always enjoy watching the seasoned seen it all radio guy first look at the barrel when I put one on the bench. It's a what the heck? moment.

The adapter you describe is the military UG-83B/U, which RF Industries makes as RFN-1036-1. Actually, the RFN-1036-1 is better than the military part, because it is silver-plated with a gold-plated center contact and Teflon dielectric. It is available from RF Parts, Tessco, Talley, and Hutton for about $6 a copy. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of skipp025 Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2008 8:44 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Wacom 642 (coax connector stories...)
