Default wire for antennae
What sort of cable should i be using for my com and xpndr antennae? They use BNC connectors.
I have some cable labelled M17/128|RG400 . Is this the right stuff?

How do I install the BNC connectors? I have the crimp-on style connectors. For my cimper I have a die which is a series of hexagonal shapes, with different numbers stamped beside the various hex holes (.225, .213, .098, .068, .32). Is this the right tool to use? What is the procedure?
