[MRCA] heat shrink tip

[Mike Feher]

Heat shrink tubing is great stuff. I have been using it for over 55 years
and found so many uses for it. A couple of examples besides the obvious ones
are: during Sandy I had a lot of broken ceramic insulators on my home made
ladder line. Just slid heat shrink over the broken section and they were as
new again. I have a 110 year old beautiful Marconi magnetic detector that
had the soft iron wire on it broken in one spot. Again, a piece of right
size heat shrink tubing over it and it looks like new. Thankfully, I have
enough of the stuff in all sorts of sizes that I will never run out. 73 -

Hi all,

 

I am sure many of us have coax cables routing RF around our shacks. Some of
us have antenna/radio switches to keep things organized. I was using some
brother p-touch labels on the coax to identify them. But the labels
eventually would unglue and come off. In my shack I mostly use LMR-400 (or
other 0.400" size coax). I wanted to locate some clear/transparent heat
shrink tubing to cover these labels, but I needed something that would fit
over a PL-259 (or N connector) and shrink down enough to be tight on the
LMR-400. I found a really useful type. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002BFYVC
