Thanks John! Yes... a quality Amphenol or other name maker, the right tools, and experience make them quite easy to use in terminating coax. I have also had good experience with the TImes Microwave TC series AND EZ series. The EZ series makes it "literally" a snap to do with the right strip tool and crimp dies for your frame.
But the original question remains: What is the nomenclature for the pins on the leads? Heyco makes a pin that looks similar, but it is 0.187" dia... too big I'm sure. I'll probably have to buy the UHF kits from Elecraft and cannibalize them. ______________________ Clay Autery, KG5LKV (318) 518-1389 On 2/17/2016 7:53 AM, j...@kk9a.com wrote: > My station has a lot of N connectors on HF and I find them easy to install > on RG8 size coax.
