Re: [PLUG] wireless router

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

I'm going to build a variation of this: 
http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/antennas/hunts.html

My cantenna will use a Bush's Baked Beans can of the same size as the 
Hunt's can, but I am going to add a second can for length.  Also, I will 
be using BNC connectors instead of N connectors so that I can recycle my 
10base2 cable.  One problem is the need for a reverse polarity female 
SMA connector to connect to the D-Link DWL-520 card.

The RP-SMA connector costs about $5, shipping costs about $10 (Can you 
believe that mess?), and it's a crimp connector.  I don't think I have 
the proper crimper.  All those little expenses make the home-made 
cantenna seem less cost-effective.

Does anyone have or need RP-SMA connectors?
