[TowerTalk] Crimp on Coax connectors

[Chuck Gooden]

According to the specification the center pin is soldered, so DO NOT 
Attempt to crimp the center pin.

Purchase some proper coax prep tools it will make the easier and more 
consistant.

DX Engineering  sells the prep tools, crimpers, and connectors. Be sure 
to use Amphenol connectors with the correct part number for the cable 
your using.
