[MLB-WIRELESS] LMR-400 and termination at cost

[Julian Featherston]

Ryan has scored LMR-600 and needs to terminate it. (hence the $$$)
 
unfortunately cheap standard bnc/tnc connectors can not be used to
terminate the few cable types that will carry 2.4GHz.

Why in hell do we have to use such expensive connectors?
 
Can someone explain it to me - For example BNC crimps aren't too
expensive and aren't exactly lossy so the only reason I can figure that
would prevent us from usng them (or a similar connector) is possibly
that the LMR coax is thicker?
 
Hell I have a couple of cards which I plan to solder the wire directly
into - that has to be neatest and least likely method for signal loss.
But for those who need joins there has to be a cheaper alternative?

You may want to try www.hyperlinktech.com you'll need the clamp type
connectors (newer and not made in all standards)
because the crimp dies for LMR-600 aint cheap. 
if you were buying the LMR-600 from rojone they would put the
connections on for just a couple of dollars extra (no surprise as the
cable is $10 a meter and as you say $40 each connector)
