I will be using the Paladin #9730 connectors. Any suggestions on techniques or the head settings? O or OO for RG59/U cable?

I use mine to install both F and BNC connectors from IDEAL on RG-6 cable. I cannot recall which head setting I usebut I pick the one where the rear shoulder of the connector fits in to the groove then I adjust the compression distance to setthe compression ring to the point of seating and no more than that. As for the BNCs I use, I have to be certain thecable preparation is done properly or the center conductor will not mate up in to the center pin. Seems to take a lot of pressure to install the connector on the cable before using the compression tool and I try to feel for a "click"to know that the center conductor pin went in to the center pin correctly.

That depends more on the overall length of the connectors than the size of the cable you are terminating. I have not used this particular connector, but I have noticed on some connectors that the compression range is longer than the throw of the Klein tool, so what I would try first is O setting to compress the connector, then switch to the OO setting to make sure it is set firmly. Good luck and may you have many happy connections! :)

I don't know of the connector you are talking about, but I do not recommend this tool for RG59, they disappointed for a klein product.

They specify RG6 .... Not sure if it's compatible with RG59. RG6 is the most commonly used type of coax for CATV and SAT TV installations.

Josh, I don't know if you purchased this Monster sub cable or not, but I too had a hum with the manufacturers provided sub cable, and I have high end Paradigm and Denon equipment. I purchased the Monster sub cable and my hum went away.........highly recommended.Cobra

Personally, I went with the SMA Female to BNC then a second adaptor cable (BNC to SO-239). Hope that helps.

A PL259. I wish it had a type N connector. Much less loss at higher freq's.

It strips rg59 cable so I don't see why not...I've worked with rg6 and rg11 cable and it works wonders

I think the 5.0 pin is meant to be used only when connecting to a FTDI cable, although I could very well be wrong. Did you try it out?

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

The supplied cables are 60'. You could use a 150' RG5918/2 cable and a plug in power supply to avoid signal degration and power loose on the very small sized cable provided.

RG59 has a little higher loss than does RG6, so since you're not talking about significant lengths, you should have no problem.

I had excellent results with this cable using CHIRP open-source freeware from http://chirp.danplanet.com/ It's constantly updated and very nicely designed.

I have that cable and it works well with the Baofeng software but the right driver was a problem, a friend of mine that is tuned into to this set it up for me, as I can tell that is going to be the biggest problem.

I don't think rg56 exists. The picture is of a rg6 connector but the description states otherwise. But when you talk about rg 59 vs rg6, rg6 is thicker hence rg59 plugs won't really fit into rg6 cables. Rg6 is used for cable coax connections and has higher bandwidth. Rg59 is used for video camera wires.

RG-58 with F connectors. Cable TV cable. It seems like a middle of the road cable, I've seen better and worse.

squashpup - THANK-YOU so very much for your reply. I have been hesitant to purchase this item, but now that I know that it works for you, I will proceed. And thanks for the eBay tip, I would not have known what to call that type of adapter cable.Happy New Year,PWB, Esq.

It seems more flexible than CATV RG6 to me. That could be due to the dielectric used. It's audio cable. Should be 75 ohms.

Should be GTG. What I know is that diplexers can handle two signals without running additional lines and you are talking voltage and analog signal. These worked for my install.
