I solder crimp connections especially RF. My only question is what harm can it do? In production is saves lots of time, but how many crimp connections does a typical ham do in a year? At 82 feet up on a tower I rather be safe than "climb" George, W6GF

How long would a connector last at your voltage drops while operating at 48 volts @ 200 amps? Can you imagine the heat dissipation? Crimp the connector as specified! ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto: This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
