Jun 29, 2023     Antenna coax connectors - (4 hours)       Category: Avionics
Practiced stripping coax for the xpndr, comm and adsb antennas. Watched Steins video and used my new jonrad tool. Took a few tries as you can see haha, but I finally found a technique that produced acceptable results. Installed male connectors on the end of each cable run and crimped in place. Crimper worked well for both the pin and connector. Used the voltmeter to check for shorts. Discovered the opposite ends required the screw on version so I'll need to order those. Always something. Spent some time trying to determine the best place for the GPS antennas. Not crazy about putting them under the cowl due to heat and vibration, but don't want to put them on the upper rear fuselage either. May try and get some ideas at OSH for those.
