Jeff,
What an excellent tutorial
Have used this set http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=20878 for hundreds of
cables in varying sizes, mostly RF Industries connectors, crimped pin and
furel, swept with Anritsu. Use the right connector for the right job paying
attention to dissimilar metal properties, size etc. Take your time and
This is more of a FWIW comment. When I was in the USAF back in the
1960's we were not allowed to solder any wire splices in airplanes but
rather, used gas-tight crimp connections for the job. The logic was that
when stranded wire was soldered the solder would wick up to a point in the
wire
Would anyone care to comment on and compare the tools offered by both
Paladin and RF Industries, as well as the link earlier in this thread?
Not cheap, but not the several hundred dollars either as quoted by
someone above.
OK, here's probably more than you ever wanted to know about crimp
The standard Kings frame is KTH-1000. The Daniels HX4 is
basically a clone
of the Kings KTH-5000. Kings, Daniels, et al make other

Sorry. Replace KTH-5000 with KTH-1000 in the above paragraph...
I have never met Jeff or crimped RF connectors but now I feel like an
expert!
Thanks Jeff.

Adding some pictures of the various crimp tools and the crimping process would

Many of these connectors show up at hamfests with no instructions,
sometimes with very vague identification markings. I was just wondering
if anyone had a simpler way to get the information than browsing many
sites looking for information.

Yes, buying at a hamfest can be a great savings, if you know what you
are buying. That's exactly why I am asking this question. Knowing what
you are buying is always the key to success at a hamfest. Those who get
disappointed are usually the impulse buyers or those who have not done

I agree with Joe. I've been successfully buying and selling at Hamfests for
years. It always seems that the lids and ticket holders have worst luck
with their impulse buying. IMHO. *Real *Hams know the score.

I paid lots for my soldering station and much less for my crimps ($80.00)

Here's a question: Where do you get the cable preparation for the
crimp-on connectors. Connectors that we have ordered from Tessco, etc,
come in a bag but with no installation instructions.
