[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1058213, member: 176704"] Quite so, and I have several sizes - several types of small bore ones for WF/CT100 etc., and larger bore ones for CT125/RG6. Biggest issues I found with screw-on ones: - They can become partially unscrewed from the cables without that being noticed, thus allowing water/moisture in from the cable end: - same issue at the threaded end - corrosion of the connector barrel itself is less "serious" than the surface corrosion to the internally exposed copper core of the cable as shown by the surface being blackened! - and, as I said earlier, silicone grease can stop a lot of the water/moisture issues, but it also makes it difficult to use s/a tape to seal the connections (especially under motors/DiSEqc switches where space is tight), and even easier for the cable end thread to loosen.
