Ryan: To make the connectors; I use four tools; 1 small Cresent wrench 1 box wrench 1 box cutter 1 small butane power soilder tip A whopping $3.00 woth of tools. I only use amphenol brand connectors. There is really no need to buy an expensive dipole solidering forceps; unless you will have another use for such an expensive piece of equipment. Other than that it is the basics... Read the cutback measurements for your connectors and you will not have a problem. HTH... Ty Carter -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of D.

I was recently given a few hundred feet of LMR400 and I am always in need of short runs of cable here and there. What kits/tools do you use? Where can I get these tools/kits/parts? Why do you like the ones you have? ryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- WISPA Wants You!
