One thing I learned from my recent antenna project using RG6 and F connectors was to buy quality environmentally sealed F connectors (Snap-N-Seal) and the proper RG6 cutting/stripping and Snap-N-Seal connector installation tool. Makes quick weather tight RG6 F connectors. The junk push-on/screw-on/solder F connectors are nothing but trouble. de NA4M Phil -- -. .- ....- -- -. .- ....- -- -. .- ....- -- Phil Duff Georgetown, Texas http://priceless.apduff.com http://stockphoto.apduff.com _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
