Topband: Help installing compression connectors

[Tom W8JI]

The correct connector seems to be a SNS-1P6QS with violet sleeve.

What is the part number or color of the connector you have??

All you should have to do, besides normal stripping prep, is fold the outer 
shield over. The connector should push right on by hand.

The compression pretty much takes a tool to do right, and the stripping is 
easiest with a stripping tool, but the correct connector should push right 
on by hand. You might try dipping the cable end in something like alcohol or 
lacquer thinner to loosen up the flooding goo, if you actually have the 
correct connector.
