Tony,

I use the RFU507SI for Davis Buryflex, LM400 and 9913. I use the RFU507ST for RG213/RG-8U and the RFU507STF for RG-214. They are all different in pin diameter and jacket size.

All:

Davis RF Buryflex cable is a great product, but I'm finding it difficult to get the center conductor inside the connector pin without fraying the stranded wire. I'm using a coax prep tool and keeping the center conductor from becoming deformed, but it seems the connector that Davis RF recommends (RFU-507-SI) needs more chamfering on the pin to help prevent this problem.

I was thinking about tinning the tip of center conductor and then grinding it to a point with Dremel tool or maybe using a drill bit to add more chamfer to the pin.

Maybe there's a connector out there that's easier to install? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
73, Tony
