[MRCA] heat shrink tip

[k2ajr at yahoo.com]

Rhino Dymo is my best friend.  I have a 6000 series printer and various diameter printable heat shrink tubings that I print on to.  The printers cost a lot new but I got mine at a reasonable price on eBay.

Here is an example of the printable heat shrink tubing, they come in diameters up to an inch:

This is the way to go if you make your own cables and want them to look authentic like they just rolled off the manufacturing line at Datron or Harris.

Best 73 to all,

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
