I was thinking it was called a 'spanner nut' also. I used to have a few in my tool box when I worked at Ritron. That's not the correct name. I tried a google search and didn't come up with anything that looked familiar. I have a call in to someone who may know.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Tools
The ones I was thinking of were a screwdriver type. They had a round tip with two 'tits' sticking out. There was also a pin in the center to keep the tool centered on the nut/jack assembly. These were mostly used with 2.5mm and 3.5mm phono (headphone) jacks.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Tools
No, Right, your just not trying. But if you are going to be in and out of a radio on a regular basis you might consider fabricating a tool. Using thick wall brass tube the diameter of the nut, cut the 2 'tits' on one end and solder a nut to the other end to give something to grip with a real wrench. Craftsman makes a nice assortment of the distributor wrenches in a pouch, but I've had to buy a fairly large set of wrenches that came with the little pouch tucked in there. You can probably get the pouch only if you are willing to play the mail order game. Also for future reference the FT-60 SMA connector is not meant to be removed from the case, if you do some how manage to get the jack out of there you will have to buy a whole back case assembly for a new connector.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Tools
All inappropriate. What's inappropriate? If what he's talking about is a spanner nut, you use a spanner wrench or a spanner driver to remove it. The thing you posted from eBay is just a four-size spanner driver. Just because it's marketed for radio purposes doesn't make it any more right or wrong as compared to any other spanner wrench. You wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something? --- Jeff WN3A
