A few weeks ago, there was an excellent thread concerning connectors on one
of the forums. I didn't see it mentioned so I was wondering if anyone has
tested or subjected the 2-piece "N" connectors to trial by fire? High
Sierra is the only place I've seen them----

The price is reasonable.
This looks like the EXCELLENT N-connector made by Andros Mfg in upstate
NY. I LOVE this connector -- easy to install, and it solves the
migration problem. http://www.androsmfg.com/products/n-connector.htm
<http://www.androsmfg.com/products/n-connector.html> They fit RG8/213
and Commscope 3227 (#10 solid copper center, shield like LMR400) quite
nicely. You solder both center and shield to one piece, then screw the
retaining shell onto it.
They are not easy to buy though -- I called all the dealers listed on
the company's website, and the only one who actually sold them (WB0W)
tried to sell me a Chinese knockoff instead. But they did have some
Andros connectors in stock, and I bought a dozen or so for my parts stock.
