 |
|
<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Folks,
I neglected to include some information in my original post on this. The "blindmate" connector that Garmin provides for its transponder calls for a 50 ohm match bushing which goes inside the connector after the coax cable is soldered up. That is why I can't use a regular BNC connector.
I also took another look at the instructions. While not absolutely explicit, I believe the instructions do call for the braid to go inside, not outside, the connector and for the connector to be heated up to flow solder between the inside of the connector and the braided shield.
You can read the installation instructions by going to Garmin's web site, then to "Support", then drilling down to the GTX 320A transponder and clicking on Installation Manual "Download". The instructions for the blindmate connector are on document pages/pdf pages 7/11 and 8/12.
Does this additional information trigger any other suggestions? I think I'll just have to keep applying heat until I "git 'er done".
Best regards,
Bob
