When bringing "inner conductor" thru the braid, it can as said - be done by either un-weaving the braided layer, or arching over the inner conductor - and pulling it thru the braid via a small opening you make in the braid itself.
One word of caution - using either method, especially the "hole in braid" method - make sure that the braid itself is not wound or formed too tightly against the insulation of the inner conductor. If it is too tightly wound - there is risk that when you solder the braid, the heat will conduct back thru the braid, and melt the inner conductor's insulation layer. This was a construction trick learned after many Heathkit projects of past. (HW-32, HW-13, HW-101, .......) Cheers, 73's Fred N3CSY __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
