I've never thought much about this before, but I'm surprised there aren't people who terminate cables as a service. Bring them your coax, pick it up later with proper connectors installed properly. I'd pay for that.

Any ham radio operators still conscious after a weekend of radio, what is your favorite coax crimping kit? (my thought: invest in a DX Engineering crimp/solder tool). I have a lot of legacy (ie used) coax with ultra-crappy or nonfunctional soldered braids, either from the former owner, or myself. #hamradio #coax

Hmm, el-cheapo RadioShack coax I bought 10+ years ago (first coax) finally gave out. THE WORST COAX in the world, lol.
(If you open up RadioShack coax, instead of a full sleeve of shielding, there is a measly 4 or 5 strands of wire around the center... It does work great as a receive antenna because of that, lol. )

SMSL PO100 Pro
Dieser kleine Kerl bringt erstaunliche Klangverbesserungen an meinen aktiven Lautsprechern zustande. Gebe ich den Musikstream direkt per USB in die Aktivlautsprecher, ist der Sound eher mäßig. Der DDC scheint das USB Signal zu „reinigen“ und zu reclocken. Dann wird es per S/PDIF Coax oder optisch an den DAC der Lautsprecher gegeben. Das Ergebnis ist eine erstaunliche Verbesserung der Soundqualität.
Highly recommended. -

#audio #electronics #coax Can anyone identify this connector? It's the inlet for the 75ohm FM antenna this receiver calls for: smooth barrel, male, no threads or design elements to engage bosses. (The waviness on the barrel is just schmutz)

AND TO SHIELD GROUND
WHY
where I can get to it, the conformal coating itself does not appear to have become conductive, that was my first idea because it's pretty crusty BUT that's not it

"antenna," "aux 1," "aux 2," and "cable" are all just... connected together. "vcr" is actually wired separately and as far as I can tell actually gets switched on the signal line, though the shield line is common across everything.
but all the switches are there. and i think they're all real. why would you do this. why.
the amount of resistance from desired source to output seems to change some but it also seems kinda random. selecting the source you're testing sometimes seems to make the resistance go _up_?
this is an archer-branded switch so I think it came from radio shack originally. and every time i say "you have failed me for the last time, Admiral SHACK" i am again proven wrong.

NOPE THEY'RE 100% CONNECTED ON THE SIGNAL LINES 100% OF THE TIME
WHAT THE FUCK

okay this just got super weird
all four inputs on the left appear to be hardwired together? can that possibly right? antenna, aux 1, aux 2, cable.
wtf actual
input 5 (vcr) is not so connected and is the only one acting kinda like i’d expect
what is going on
this has to be wrong clearly i must be fucking something up. maybe the board connections are extremely counter-intuitive.

yeah that is not a number you want to see on a closed switch. that’s not a good number at all.

@bolderbekah @elmiller0330 @ai6yr
Traveling with my #yaesu #ht #FT5 #HamRadio. bag was pulled off security conveyor belt and opened.
#TSA agent pulls out my #magnetic mount, 1/4 wave, dual band #2m / #70cm #antenna with the #coax wound around the base.
TSA agent: “what’s this?”
Me: “an antenna”
TSA agent to the agent running the X-ray: “it’s an antenna!”
I stuff it back in my bag and head to my gate. This is the first and only time this has happened. -

Have you tried taking it off the wall and turning it upside down?
(Whoever designed the Virgin Media access point clearly lived on a planet without gravity. It’s left an unsightly bit of unpainted wall showing for the moment but otherwise should be far more robust now.)

We already had Fiber-To-The-Home back when we lived in Sweden, even in our summerhouse in the middle of nowhere (at least from a Dutch perspective middle of nowhere). But now, about 7 years later we got #FTTH installed in our apartment in the center of #Haarlem. Very happy to be on #KPN fiber now. :)
To get an idea on how much better KPN FTTH is compared to my old #coax based #Ziggo connection, below you see the measured latency between Ziggo cable 1gbps and KPN 1gbps towards our #sase edge.

Now, where did I put my T-connectors and terminators
Oh, and my NE2000 cards.

I prototyped some orange #coax using cable sleeve material over RG-58. I'm not super impressed by the color because the black is shining through. Have to check it out in the sunlight. I hope this helps making the coax more visible when operating /p. Can't wait for M&Ps colored coax line.

Weekend #coax mystery... Have figured out that the roll of RG-6 I have been using absolutely has a different sized outer layer than the crimping tools want. It's thinner than standard RG6/U. Anyone have any idea of what it is and what to look for in connectors? (it was a 1000 feet for free... 75 ohm, so great for dipoles, and very low loss). #hamradio
