Re: Topband: Replacing F Connectors with BNCs

[Mike Waters <mikewate@gmail.com>]

The end of the coax CCS center conductor always has sharp jagged edges. It
doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that these can and will
damage the female contacts, by removing the plating and worse.

For that reason, we should *always* smooth the end of it with a small flat
fine file until it feels nice and smooth. Only then should it be plugged
into the F receptacle.
