One good thing that happened to you today

[InbetweenDreams]

I am saying this here. The response to my introduction here was an insult. Maybe talking about myself makes some people angry.

NEEERRRRD!!!!!




j/k j/k lol, glad you got it sorted out though .
I was beginning to wonder if you were gonna let a wire get the best of you .

Ugh!!! That stuff is difficult to work with if you don't know how to work with it... The cable is thick, very stiff.

My thumb bled a couple times and from being poked from trying to twist the copper wires are all raw...

Now that I have it figured out probably take all of a minute to put a connector on, but the other "classic" thing that I do (and did a couple of times) was forget to put the sleeve on for the connector...SOOO I would have to de-solder the tip or cut it off and try again... All while not trying to burn the shite out of myself with a hot soldering iron...

To put things in perspective...



The LMR-400 is a lot like the RG-8 at the bottom...but slightly larger and also has an inner foil jacket under the braided shield...

Then you have all the different connectors.... PL-259 (aka UHF) on the top left..
