Hi
Connectors were corroded and had to cut one off; the one to the aerial up the mast. The other, male connector was in good condition
Can anyone help me find a replacement connector, most are for the thinner coaxial cable, not thicker to thinner wire
I ve enclosed a photo, before they were removed, the e on the thicker wire side has no corrosion. The thinner wire one had to be cut off
Thanks
Those are standard TNC connectors. Can buy them online or at any well stocked chandlery. Always solder, never rely on tiny little brass screws. Cover in silicone grease before closing up to prevent corrosion.
Thanks, hopefully I am able to solder things as no extra cable to pull down from below the mast. Do these connectors accept different cable sizes like I have?
Make sure your soldering and connections are spot on, otherwise you will suffer from lossy reception and high VSWR. It's a common problem that pests boaters all the time. Take your time and make sure connections are clean and tight.
