Hi Jesse, just read your post re the RF probe. Your questions concerning the use of banana plugs are already answered so I'll have a go at the braid unraveling question. I'm using a very small copper brush. It looks like a toothbrush but the brushes are made of copper wire. After having cut away the outer sheath, I use the brush to "comb" the braid along the axis of the coax, combing from the sheath towards the end of the cable. It may take a few minutes of "combing" but this results in a set of perfectly aligned copper wires, no sign of interleaving or braid. Then it's really a piece of cake to separate them from the cable.
Hope this helps. 73 es gud DX Glenn ON4WIX _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
