[HCARC] Crimped vs Soldered Coax Connectors??

[Gary J - N5BAA]

Derrell,

I too am retired Navy (CDR, SC, USN-ret) and ran a number of Aviation Supply 
Activities in the 80's and 90's.  That however, is (Heaven Forbid) 20-30 
years ago and some procedures may have changed.  I understand the Air Force 
has and I can easily check at NAS Corpus with the Supply Response Section 
(SRS) to see if the Navy has too.  I am assuming NAS Corpus has an IMA level 
maintenance facility for the training aircraft.  Might be interesting to 
find out.

I taught aviation micro miniature (2M) circuit board repair certification in 
the Navy back in the late eighties. The miniature course was five weeks long 
and the micro was three weeks. The miniature curriculum was mostly high 
reliability soldering along with circuit board repair. The micro repair was 
very specialized with high power, stereo microscopes.  The Navy's avionics 
have to "take a licking and keep on ticking" as John Cameron Swayze used. 
Our aircraft  get shot off  the deck and hit hard when landing. Soldering 
connectors is more reliable than crimping when done properly. Crimping by 
definition is deforming.
