Pro tip: my instructor's old trick for coax pin crimps
My first boss, a guy named Carl who worked on Gulfstreams for 20 years, always told me to 'feel for the double click' on those tiny RG400 coax connectors. I thought it was just his weird thing, but on a recent job with a stubborn VHF comm antenna line, I finally paid attention. Sure enough, the good crimp had a distinct second click after the first squeeze. It saved me from having to re-run the whole cable run. Anyone have other little tricks for those finicky RF connections?
