I am having trouble constructing the YCCC feedline chokes as described in their manual. In particular, I cannot seem to solder the RG-179 to the PCB mount F-connector, even after studying the photos in the manual. I had no problems soldering the BNC PCB connector in the FA-VA5 antenna analyzer kit with the same soldering equipment. The RG-179 and F-connector are in the commercial kits I purchased. The shield keeps pulling away from the connector after the solder cools.
Does anyone know where to obtain the soldering lugs that fit under the nuts on chassis connectors? When I look for 3/8 inch lugs I keep finding lugs to hold 3/8 inch diameter power cables! Terry N4TZ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
