Antennas...

BGAlone,
Sorry for not answering sooner, was not at home.
I have tried a few different kinds and brands on almost any type of R.F. connector, because for the last 20 years or so, all I have done is Electronics, Communications, Avionics, and now NAV/COMM for the FAA.
This quick and easy connector DO work, well, for a while. Remember this, anytime you put two different metals in contact with each other, there will be galvanic corrosion. That is a Law in Quemistry. Nothing will stop that. So, the problem will be later, with time, the contact area between the coax inner conductor and the connector center pin, and the coax outer braid with the connector outer, will loose good conductivity, thus, signal loss. On top of that, the marine enviroment, with all the humidity and salt, will make it even worst.
That connector will work fine, I have seen they work fine, but the solder type, when properly installed will last longer than the antenna will.
A few years ago, it was required to have the Marine VHF certified by an FCC Tech, and I did a few 100`s of those checks, and one rule I had was to have a soldered connector in the coax.
If you use the quick type connector, fill it with Corrossion -X or the like before you stick the coax into it, then cover the connector with 3M rubber splicing tape #23 AFTER you install the connector in the radio.
If you can not find a HAM guy who can do that for you, go to a local radio shop and have a COMM technitian install the connector for you. Just take the antenna to him/her. Tell him to check it @ 156.800 Mhz frecuency.
