Re: [TowerTalk] Coax Crimp-On Connectors

I wish I had know about the RF Parts tool a couple years ago. I bought 
the DXE one, which works fine on RG-8 and RG-58, but I had to crime ONE 
RG-174 BNC. The DXE RG-58 die has a smaller crimper, but it's too big 
for RG-174. I got it to work with a shim, but a die designed for it 
would have been better.
