Hi all:
Quick question. I'm installing one of those El Cheapo $19 bent whip comm antennas from AS. One of these: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/stainlessantenna.php
So, I understand that you connect the center contact from the coax to the antenna via, what looks like a crimp on connector. There is an illustration in the Aero Electric book that shows this. My question is, what kind of connector is this? Is it indeed a crimp on? Where do you find a connector that can accept a wire as small as the center wire in a coax and still big enough to fit on the antenna?
Thanks
Kelly Johnson
