Hi Tom,
Well, the two that have been mentioned recently are:
http://www.therfc.com/
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/52712/377%20710%201413/0/Coax%20/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/10/0?N=377%20710%201413&Ne=0&Ntt=Coax%20&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&page=CategoryDisplayLevel1&isLTokenURL=true&storeNum=null&subdeptNum=null&classNum=null
Now, I haven't used either of these but they looked good to me. I am
trying to remember where I bought my last packs of crimp on connectors. It
was this summer and I was very happy with them.
God bless,
Mark
God loves you!
