Lesson for me is that if I check the connector right after I assemble it I will know right then and fix it......instead of "assuming" it was good and causing lots of troubleshooting.
Thanks again for everyone's input. Still learning!

Steinair has a good video on installing BNC connectors and testing before you crimp. I was installing a lot of RG400 with BNC & TNC connectors a few weeks ago on my project and one of the BNC connectors failed the continuity test before I crimped. It was a single strand of untrimmed shield that was the culprit and I missed seeing it when I was assembling the fitting.
