Also Lyle,
Never fail to use good quality connectors at all connections, namely F-connectors of the crimp type, Belling-Lee connectors just don't cut it these days, although there will need to be fly-leads made up for TV's and VCR's.
I'd like to pick the brains of Paul and others as to which is the better crimp (Hex or Radial), but Doug Wells was saying that he always uses the Radial type.
Personally, I use the PPC Hex Crimp type, mainly because they are loaded with water-proofing sealant and they have the rubber sealing ring in the front of the connector.
Oh, and it is always important to use the correct tool to crimp these connectors, I've seen guys try and use a pair of Klein pliers to crimp them.
Ahh Nope!. [Linked Image]
Just a small question guys, have your VCR's and the like got F-connector inputs on them?.
