[TowerTalk] positive stop connector for 7/8 Andrew

[Jim W7RY]

Yes you can.

There should be instructions on the net. Be sure to use the instructions for 
your exact connector. That number will be on the connector.

You don’t need specialized tools if your careful. You can usually use the 
connector body rear as a cutting guide.

Use a very fine toothed hacksaw blade if you have one.

Good luck!

Subject: [TowerTalk] positive stop connector for 7/8 Andrew

Hello there,
I wondered if you might be able to advise.
I'm replacing a wind damaged tower with a stronger one, while trying to
save the 7/8 coax that I use for 6m, but I had a little incident this
morning, ended up making an ugly dent in the cable.
It's close enough to the end, so I can just trim it shorter, remove the
damaged piece, but I wondered... Can I remove the (positive stop 7/16 DIN,
female) connector from the end that I'm going to trim, and reinstall it?
Ionly have a few days before the tower people come to install the new
tower, and they would install the antenna, too, only if I were ready, so I
need this fixed asap, and waiting for anything ordered online would take at
least week now.
So if I only could, I'd rather reuse the one I already have... If that can
be cdone...

tia, jarek, va3ncd
