Re: Elecraft Digest, Vol 115, Issue 18

I do not often have problems with jumpers or long runs as I use a 'proper' crimper to make BNC connectors/jumpers. I have often wondered what the "proper" procedure is to makeup UHF connectors (often one of each on the jumper). Perhaps you or someone might detail the procedure for us. I'm sure the newbies will appreciate the information.

Many thanks for sharing your experience.  That is the kind of information
we all either did, do or will need at some point in this great hobby.

A few years ago I started going through all the cables in my shack, and
ended up replacing a number of them that I thought might have been good
enough for some stuff, but not as good as I wanted for the important
stuff.

It was frustrating to find a poorly made cable for which I paid good
money.  It was a different feeling to find a poorly made cable for which I
had to take full blame.  I don't know if it was one that I made before I
knew how to get it "right", or if I was in a hurry, but I know now that we
can learn from such experiences.

For "UHF" connectors I use the proper crimper for crimp-style connector
as well.
