Re: Stripping Coax
OK, that's adjustable for different jacket/braid/dielectric/center diameters, do you have to swap the cartridge for different strip lengths? 73, Willie N1JBJ

Re: Stripping Coax
It would depend on what coax you are working with. Lately I've been using RG316, quite by accident I discovered that I can neatly remove the outer jacket with my Ideal strippers by using the 14AWG

Check your cal loads with an ohm meter to see if they are OK at DC. Take a look at the inside socket of the SMA connectors. Perhaps "drilled out" by rotating pin after too may uses. Roger
