[R-390] Small cables

[Barry]

As I recall (it's been a few years), RG-174 won't fit in the MBNC connectors.  I think the I.D. is too large to go inside the MBNCs.  Although it isn't the same cable I had (mine had clear outer insulation), I _think_ this is the correct cable:

eBay #380576703742

Again, IIRC, the stated O.D. (0.070") is a correct diameter for the MBNCs.  I was able to slip the old metal cable tags off the old coax, slip it on the new ones, and "recrimp" it to a certain extent.  Not sure if you can do that with RG-174.

Thanks,
