Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:19:17 -0400
All, Does anyone know if the DX Engineering coax strippers can be used for both crimp-on and solder connectors? I need to make a bunch of LMR-240 jumpers with crimp-on connectors and was wondering if

I thought so Roger, but I wouldn't mind having to trim here and there. I ordered a bunch of UHF crimp connectors from RF Parts (RFU-508-X) and was hoping DX Engineering's 808X stripper would work ok.

All, I need ground wire for my tower and was wondering if someone could recommend an online supplier? The TT archives suggest heavy gauge solid copper and that's what I intend to install. The local s

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. On the subject of stranded vs solid wire for grounding; my guess is that there is some electrical advantages, but the argument I see most is that solid is ea

All, Is anyone using the Fulton K2550 winch on a U.S. Tower TRX80 raising fixture? The K2550 seems larger than the K1550 that comes standard and the mounting plate is probably too small to accommodat

Dino, Thanks for the advice. I received an email from someone who is using a K2550 in place of the stock K1550 to crank the tower up / down. He was able to use two of the three bolts to hold it in pl

Hello Pete, The problem occurs with several different rigs when running 50 to 100 watts. The coax is the Davis RF Bury Flex 400 equivalent -- it's only a few years old. Tony _________________________
