Hello,

Senior citizen that enjos HF and vhf/uhf listening, but frankly not very
technical.

A few years back, I had to order some bnc, etc. connectors.
Ordered from supposedly popular source who said they had it all in
stock, and had to wait weeks and weeks to get it as they obviously
didn't. Would sure like to avoid that kind of experience again.

Do listening only.

So, please let me ask you folks:

for sma and bnc connectors, as well as preassembled (bnc or sma on the
ends)short (3 ft or so) coax assemblies, who do you recommend as being
reasonably priced (I'll use reasonably rather than cheap) and usually
having in stock ?

For short lengths of coax, and listening only up thru the scanner
freq's, what coax should I go for that would be inexpensive ?
RG 8x, RG 59, or...?) What to stay away from ?

Again, I need something "usable" up to about 1.5 GHZ or so,
listening only.

Thanks,
Bob
