Although I never talked to anyone there placing an on-line order, worked out fine.
I called and spoke to Frank which I was informed was a co-owner by him, he is the "Customer Service Rep", I called him to inquire how they installed the connectors on the coax, whether they were soldered, crimped etc., Frank informed me the tip/center conductor was soldered and the body was crimped, I accepted this after much homework because I had always soldered the shield and the tip but found crimping was good.
Upon receiving the coax all looked good, I was installing my stacked loops and put the loop on the mast on some saw horses and got the coax hooked up and lifted mast to stand on ground leaning up against house until I got on the roof via the ladder, after leaning it there I looked down and there was the end of the coax with the tip only on the center conductor, this is when I became very upset, they LIED, and they know they LIED.
So I went up the ladder and removed the threaded collar from the loop antenna, the first thing I notice is this is not crimped, it is a screw on type PL259, then I went back down and looked at the coax end, I wish I could post a pic here .................. anyway, thye used a screw on connector (Lie #1), very cheap, appears to be aluminum, I was told "Quality Crimp On PL259", and to make matters worse, when they stripped back the additional outer jacket, they did not even pull the braid back over the jacket before screwing it on which is why it pulled out because the body was loose on the outer jacket, no solder, braid not pulled back before screwing on and obviously they lied about using crimp connectors and do not even know how to install a screw on type properly, and the connector so cheap that even with all the other failures that the tip was not even remotely secure due to how cheap it was though it could have been due to excessive heat when soldering tip though again ..................cheap cheap cheap.
So I call and talk to Frank, he basically calls me a liar, I send a very pointed email to them and then his partner John calls me, I am explaining and he says the connector broke, I said but John it is not a crimp connector like I was told and even still it was installed wrong as a screw on type and it is aluminum body for gods sake the cheapest mess I have ever seen, so he begins to cuss me and tells me F U and hangs up on me like Frank did.............................
Yes they are a reseller and the retail goods they have in that dept are legit, but I do not trust people like this that are intentionally defrauding people, I had wondered why I did not see the hex shape under the shrink tubing at the connector but paid it no mind, but now I understand, they LIED, and they know, very sad, so they both hung up on me, I have reported them to the FTC and the BBB and my local AG Office in hopes they will at least be forced to stop screwing people with their shoddy jack leg connectors and to be honest, pure and dishonest Fraud.
I hope you all warn people of them, please do not let anyone at least buy any of their premade assy's, I hate to see this happen to me but yet more so to others.
So now I am replacing all the connectors on the assy's, thank goodness I had a crimper and Amphenol Crimp PL259's here so I could replace the one for my stacked M2 HO Loops, only downside is I now have to take down the mast my dipole is mounted on with the Diamond 510 on top of it so I can replace that connector, I am not leaving a loose ground up there ...................
What a sad sad thing these guys are doing to make an extra buck..................very sad.
