Hi Steve,
Thank you for the information on The RF Connection. They are making two
cables to my specifications as we speak. I also got a price quote from The
Wireman. However, they were not able to supply the ends I wanted and they
were higher in price as well. I guess it pays to shop. Smile. The thing is
that I was making my own jumpers with RG174 but the cable is so small and I
was having to find ways to make the cable fit a full sized PL259. I recalled
wishing I could just install RS239 ends. So, on the cables I ordered that is
what I am having installed. It sure will beet having to use a barrel
connector.
God bless,
Mark
Jesus Is Lord!
