[Amps] UHF Connectors & Crimpers: WHICH/WHAT SOURCE

[Hardy Landskov]

Pete & Everyone,
Maybe I've missed something along the way but is there a list that calls out 
what die goes with what RG number? The only one I know for sure is the one 
for LMR-400. I now have 2 crimpers, with 8 different die sizes and only one 
I know for sure.
