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.

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.

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

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?
@argoneum2 ай бұрын
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.

RG402, you can bend it cold

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

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
@IMSAIGuy2 ай бұрын
they do that, you can just push them back once the module is screwed down.

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?
