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.
