These are my choices for connectors/cable, no failures
since 2009:
RG-213, Davis RF, Marine Grade, White Jacket.
UHF/PL-259, RF Parts Co., Crimp Type.
Cable Prep Tools, DX Engineering Kit.
Cush Craft, PVC Push-On Boots
My technique is to crimp the braid ferrule with the proper
tool and solder the tip (no crimp). If you can find them install the
Cush Craft boot first. Anybody who knows a supplier
of these, let me know. Finally, solder the tip. Fill the pin on the
connector.
No failures caused by bad connector or cable prep or
corrosion since 2009. Adding some dielectric grease to the connector
threads is not a bad idea either.
