Ahh, ok. I'll have another look. I was previously looking at the "Snap
&
Seal" crimps. They appear to be very high quality, weatherproof, not
too
expensive for the plugs, but the tool was 50-60 quid :-(
I wonder if poor screening (through age) is the cause of my
deteriorating Sky signal ? Dish has been up (about) 3 years and strength
& quality has got steadily worse over the last year or so.
