[TowerTalk] [SteppIR] Belden 9913F7 & N Connector

[J. Hector Garcia XE2K]

the first version of the  N connectors  fit in the  regular RG8.  if you have problem to fit ,  use a pliers to tight the center conductors , in that way also fit.  if not  cut 1 or 2 wires  and repeat the procedure,  this cables  are not like the LMR  that use aluminum and copper clad.

other buy the new version of connector  and solve the problem
