This is more of a FWIW comment. When I was in the USAF back in the
1960's we were not allowed to solder any wire splices in airplanes but
rather, used gas-tight crimp connections for the job. The logic was that
when stranded wire was soldered the solder would wick up to a point in the

What an excellent tutorial. This should be a permanent article on the
Repeater-buiilder site!
Adding some pictures of the various crimp tools and the crimping process would
make it complete.

Sorry. Replace KTH-5000 with KTH-1000 in the above paragraph...

I agree with Joe. I've been successfully buying and selling at Hamfests for
years. It always seems that the lids and "ticket holders" have worst luck
with their impulse buying. IMHO. *Real *Hams know the score.

Yes, buying at a hamfest can be a great savings, if you know what you
are buying. That's exactly why I am asking this question. Knowing what
you are buying is always the key to success at a hamfest. Those who get
disappointed are usually the impulse buyers or those who have not done
their ho
My advice is to stick with a name-brand connector. Then you don't need to
worry about any differences or quality issues.

Many of these connectors show up at hamfests with no instructions,
sometimes with very vague identification markings. I was just wondering
if anyone had a simpler way to get the information than browsing many
sites looking for information.

Here's a question: Where do you get the cable preparation for the
crimp-on connectors. Connectors that we have ordered from Tessco, etc,
come in a bag but with no installation instructions.

My experience has been that if you use a high quality cable, high quality
connector and crimping dies made specifically for the particular cable and
connectors...crimp-on will working very well. It won't be cheap though. I
have, when practical, soldered the connector tip to the cable...after c
