I'd add that for LMR-600 you have to really hunt for UHF connectors. I
did find some clamp type through Davis Electric that appear to work
well. I did modify them though by opening up the internal retaining
flange to 7/16" for more clearance with a reamer. (This takes some
careful centering, but would be a piece of cake in a lathe) Times makes,
or at least sells a crimp UHF connector for LMR-600 but IIRC it's $50 or
$60.
