Well, an L45W is nice and easy. It's one of the old-style connectors that has a thread-in center pin (the best kind, in my opinion). Simple instructions follow - let me know if you want a scan of the actual instruction sheet. I'd suggest experimenting once on a scrap piece of cable until you

Oh, forgot a minor detail. In step 7 where you flare the shield out, compact the dielectric around the outer perimeter so that it doesn't get caught between the fingers and the body of the connector when you put the two halves of the connector together. Don't disturb any more of the dielectric

Steve, just changing crystals should not create this problem, and should not require modifications. If the spurs are making it out with significant amplitude, they're probably being generated in a later stage. If the frequency was just changed, how was the transmitter and power amp tuned? (Or,
