Hi Ray,
I've used Amphenol 83-1SP PL-259 connectors on RG-11 at least 100 times and they're always 100% trouble free. I'm not aware of a suitable crimp RG-11 connector. I'm referring the standard RG-11 with a copper center conductor and shield and not cable TV RG-11. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raymond Benny" <[email protected]> To: "160" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 8, 2021 7:22:34 PM Subject: Topband: PL259 type connectors for RG11 I'm in the process of building a vertical phased antenna system for 80m and 160m. I am looking to purchase some crimp type connectors to build the phasing lines but have not found any. RF Parts does not have them. Somewhere online, it was suggested I use the typical RG8 /213 crimp-on connector instead and wonder if this is OK? I do know that the center conductor is smaller in diameter than common RG8/213 cable. Would this make a difference? It seems to me that in the past I did use the standard PL259 and soldered the center conductor and braid, but I'd rather use crimp-on type connectors instead. Any thoughts or other sources for RG11 type PL259 connectors? I did try google and eBay, but they all ended up showing either RG6 or 'N' type connectors.
