Bob, Crimped connections are superior to soldered connections in a high vibration, high stress environment. The solder will fracture after exposure to vibration and/or temperature cycles. With a proper crimp tool (not the one from Harbor Freight!) the resistance of a proper crimped connection will be no higher than that of a soldered connection. The TE/Amp PROIII hand crimp tool is $213 at Digikey...The Amphenol hex die crimper for RG-8, RG213, etc. is $112.
But, soldered connections are fine for a ham shack. de AJ4TF -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/normal-K3-voltage-drop-on-TX-tp7606504p7606603.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
