Oh yes the ole connector thing multiple answers to that. Some have used various gas compression fittings etc. But I mentioned half inch hardline for a reason. The OD matches both PL259s and certain N connectors. (Picked up at flea markets) Also these N connectors seem to have a large center conductor that accepts the Hardline. Then a sleeve (Split on one side) made from a 1" length or less of the same hardline and a small hose clamp. This actually easily handles a fair amount of power not that this is about that. Pl259s simply remove the outer jacket screw the pl259 onto the dialectric and again use a sleeve and hose clamp. Use this on HF at reasonably high power. Been working a long time and out in the wx. I do seal things.
