Can anyone recommend a source? I only have a few left. They come with silicone dielectric compound pre-applied inside. There's also Belden Snap-n-Seal connectors. Their length is compressed using a special tool, which in turn crimps down on the coax jacket using a plastic tube with a molded-in taper. They have different IDs; smaller for dual-shield coax and larger for quad-shield. If you use the ones intended for quad-shield on dual-shield coax, they'll pull out too easy. (Don't ask me how I know that. ;-) Can anyone recommend a source for good and cheap Snap-n-Seal connectors for dual-shield coax? 73, Mike www.w0btu.com _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
