[Antennas] CRIMP TOOL for LMR-400

[Chris Boone]

The Paladin uses replaceable dies so you can crimp just about ANYTHING with
it....The dies are $15-20 each iirc...
I got mine through Ralph's Electronics (since they are local and I have an
open company acct there)...but plenty of other dealers nationwide...YMMV

PL259s for RG8X should fit RG6...about the same size on the outer
conductor...

The crimp vs solder thread was very educational.  Many thanks to those of 
you who shared your expert knowledge.   I saw mention of the ratchetting 
Paladin tool.  Any other suggestions/discussion for purchase of a
ratchetting 
crimp tool and  for hand-powered automated stripping of the various 
coax/hardline cables?  Are these tools also capable of crimping F connectors
onto RG6? 
 Are there PL259 crimp connectors avaibile for RG6 ?
