Re: [WISPA] Tools for making LMR400 N connectors...
One advice of caution, buy the stripper crimper from the same place that sells the connectors. Not all connectors are the same. for the record, I use electro com and buy my tools from them as well as the times ez's for 5 gig and 2 gig and the cheaper crimp /crimp aluminum connectors for 2 gig only.

Re: [WISPA] Tools for making LMR400 N connectors...
Call your local LMR distributor and tell them to send you a LMR 400 strip tool, crimp tool and order yourself a bunch of those LMR 400 EZ connectors. Problem solved! Scriv Marlon K.
