I have recently started using crimp connectors for RG-213 and have been pleased with the installation procedure and the finished product. Mine are made by Amphenol and are 083-8SP-RFX.  They are crimped at the shield and soldered at the center conductor.

Everyone here always recommends Amphenol 83-1SP PL-259 connectors, but does Amphenol make a crimp version?  If so, where would be a good supplier of them?  If not, what crimp connector out there has similar quality?  I don't plan to ever use soldered connectors again.

I've used the crimp PL-259 connectors from DX Engineering and they have worked well, but are there others?  I see that Davis RF has a couple of crimp versions but there is no information on them, the price difference between the two is almost 2:1, and I've never seen any user comments for either.

Thanks much,
