I doubt that they are cutting the crystal any different whether they install them in the element, or deliver them as-is. As far as compensation goes, what are they doing? Just changing the cap parallel to the warp cap? If this is all they do, it is easy enough to do myself, as it is only one

[Repeater-Builder] Combing Out the Braid for Crimp Connectors

2003-12-03 Thread Eric Lemmon
What makes a crimp/crimp connector easier to install is that the braid is NOT combed out at all. This is especially important when installing N, BNC, or mini-UHF connectors on RG214, RG142, or RG400 double-shielded coax. The braid is just bell-mouthed enough to slip the sleeve underneath.

Ian, you should have time standard frequencies in Australia on 5 10 and 15 MHz. If you have a secondary receiver, tune in the 10 MHz and compare it to the output of the 10 MHz timebase in your service monitor. This has been one of my obsessions for a while now, to find a way of more
