Glad you were able to use it. I have the coax cables "somewhere". I think they may be in my warehouse in town. Would have made to much sense for me to keep them with the attenuator LOL.

Kudos to Mike!

Thanks for this video Mike.

Looks like you have as much fun soldering SMA connectors as I do. Although, to be honest, it's not the soldering that drives me nuts. It's stripping RG-174 or RG-316 with the right offsets to work in the crimp connectors I use that drives me nuts.

The power of a like-minded community !

SMB connectors are PUSH on/PULL off , SMC have threaded nut to fasten.

your viewers are wonderful people.

Definitely wizardry in a can and it has a satisfying "clicky" sound when you turn the knob at 14:55.

what is the insulator in the hardline coax? How do they manufacture those bends?

[@argoneum]

It was solid teflon insulator and silver plated iron core in ones I disassembled. Guess they form those bends with lots of heating, probably also with proper tension to the center wire. Unfortunately re-bending while cold causes parameters to degrade.

[@IMSAIGuy]

RG402, you can bend it cold

[@argoneum]

@@IMSAIGuy Thanks, good to know 🙂

[@gretalaube91]

Dude... there's an SMA to SMB on the bench... too short? If not, sometimes naps are a thing. God Bless! 73 de W3IHM

[@tubesnstuff503]

when you pushed the last module in it pushed one of the pin sockets out of the chassis on the bottom, that's probably broken now

[@IMSAIGuy]

they do that, you can just push them back once the module is screwed down.

[@KG4JYS]

Are those cables using copper pipe as the outer conductor instead of a braid or is it just a whole coax cable run through a pipe?

I missed the video where you determined the attenuator was bad

Come on. 3/4 of the video was you using a screw driver.
