Hi Roger,
Tnx for the input.
I decided to go with crimp on PL-259's as I assume they will hold up well as
the other PL-259's. Since rain can't get on the cables and there is
virtually no stress on them I figure don't need to seal them.
This will also get rid of one more connection per line.

N2TK, Tony

Amphenol does make them, (their adapter pages list them) but I'd guess any
distributor would treat them as a special order and charge accordingly.
Try the small 3M flooded heat shrink. It does a good job of sealing while
adding a lot of mechanical strength.
