do you have a local tv shop or dish installer around. usually you can go in and buy a handful if you have the tool to put them on already and buy them to fit the tool. i would be glad to send you some though. a small flat rate box is about 5.10 or an envelope that would hold them would be a few dollars. try the local store first. charlie

lol, I wish I would've asked the cable installers when they came by, but that was a while ago.
Appreciate the offer Charlie! I'll try to track down some installers, but off the top of my head I can't think of any. Originally Posted by chaskuchar

Maybe I will have to buy a 50 pack after all.

Since I've started playing with FTA, I've used up 1500' of RG6 and used over 200 connectors. My last dish (10') used almost 200' of coax and 14 connectors. The dish stands next to the house 30' from the TV.
