When buying coax fittings you get what you pay for. Cheap price
sometime equats to cheap construction.
I've used times connectors (EZcrimp & soldered) and times coax (LMR
etc) for about 10 years without any problems.
You can shop the connectors and coax all over the place, just remember
that the times EZ-crimp with take about $70.00 in tools to install the
connectors.
the connectors you saw at hyperlink tech are similar to the RF parts
connectors. The center pin connector is crimped on the coax then the
connector is assembled. I've seen people assemble this connector and
because the center conductor of the coax had a little bend they ended
up with a center pin off center when the connector was assembled.
You won't have this problem with the Times EZcrimp version.
the most common LMR you get into with wireless is LMR-400. These
connectors are real easy to install. The rest take a little knowledge
and alot of care. For the small coax I usually by the adapter coaxs
ready made.
below are links to pdf's and a video about the install procedure.
below is a like to the pds's for installing times connectors

here's a video of the same thing -

hope this helps. Make the big ones, buy the small ones and
spend time making it work instead of beating your head against the
wall trying to manufacture the small adapter coax.
