Having the same problem, I wish you luck on recovery. It's been nearly
three years, yet every so often I notice significant improvements.
Continued rehab still works even if I have to do it at home. Just a
week ago, I was finally able to hold solder with my left hand if I can
rest the hand on a solid desk.
All that said., I use, BuryFlex, LMR-400, LMR-600, 8X, and RG-400.

Like some others Steve has given me some helpful advise. I use almost
all crimp connectors. Although Times Wire offers their own tools and
connectors, I do use their N-type connectors for LMR-600, but standard
tools for LMR-400 and 600.
Check with Steve!
73 es good luck,
Roger (K8RI)

I suffer from significantly diminished fine motor skills and
proprioception (the sense of the relative position of neighboring

of my left hand, and am unable to install solder-on connectors.
In light of the fascinating discussion of connectors, I have the
following question regarding the installation of connectors on RG-8X,
RG-213, LMR-240, LMR-400 and "Buryflex" (DavisRF or DX Engineering)
cables. I'm not sure which ones I'll be using as I re-build my station
this summer.
Who are the recommended connector manufacturers of crimp-on connectors
for these different size cables, and what tools do I need to install
them. I've noted that ratcheted crimpers range from $15 to $400, and
that Times Microwave makes their own connectors and tools for their
LMR series cables.
While I acknowledge that there is often a direct correlation between
cost and quality, this is an instance where I need guidance.
Thanks & 73,
Eric W3DQ
