[TowerTalk] N Connectors

[Marlon K. Schafer]

Hi Dan,

If you don't already have them, save yourself a LOT of time and trouble and 
pick up the stripper and deburring tools for the cable size you are working 
with.

Times also has a relatively new compression type connector like you are 
talking about.  I've used them for LMR600 and they are much much nicer than 
the older style.  All you need to build a perfect connection these days are 
the strippers, a pair of nail scissors, razor knife and a couple of Crescent 
wrenches.  Very cool and very fast :-).

I've cc'd Lee at Hutton (Electro-comm) on this.  I've purchased all of my 
cable from them for a very long time.  Good prices and great service!

Hope that helps,
marlon
