someone explain it to me - For example BNC crimps aren't too expensive and
aren't exactly lossy so the only reason I can figure that would prevent us from
usng them (or a similar connector) is possibly that the LMR coax is
thicker?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

have a couple of cards which I plan to solder the wire directly into - that has
to be neatest and least likely method for signal loss. But for those who
need joins there has to be a cheaper alternative?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

LMR-600 from rojone they would put the connections on for just a couple

$40 each connector)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
