With the big rubber clamping\nthing inside for the shield. And always wished that method was available\non other connectors, even the old PL-259.\n\nA few weeks ago I found them, Like this,\n\nhttp://dxavenue.com/131-465-thickbox/pl-259-clamp-connector-uhf-male.jpg\n\nand I found a source, that is not only CHEAP, but in any combination\nyou could even dream of. So No losses from adapters. Like from LMR-400\nto Male BNC, or even LMR-400 to female SMA.\n\nI bought three connectors.\n(2) LMR-400 to Male BNC\n(1) Male BNC to Female SMA\n\nTotal cost only 9 bucks and 3 days shipping time!\n\nOK, I was sooo happy I had to bring them to the club meeting last night\nto let everyone else know of this find. And a guy that works for a land\nmobile company. They do all the radio work around here for the police,\nFD etc. And he said he wished he knew I wanted them. They got a box of a\nhundred in the storage room. A lot of equipment comes with the\nconnectors like these but they refuse to use them. He said they are not\nreliable and the ground connection fails.\n\nI never heard of this before. What is everyones thoughts here?\n\nJoe WB9SBD\n--\nSig\nThe Original Rolling Ball Clock\nIdle Tyme\nIdle-Tyme.com\nhttp://www.idle-tyme.com\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
