Hi Hugo



The steinair website may help you.

http://steinair.com/connectors.htm

I believe that any connector that fits RG-58 will fit RG400 and I used a 

$20. imported crimper that worked fine for me.

Ken is correct. Dimensionally, RG-58 and RG400 are close enough

   to use the same connectors and application tools. The only 'catch'

   is to get your 'cheap' tool and connectors from the same supplier . . .

   presumably, like me, they'll make sure that their connectors are

   compatible with their tools. It's a rare problem but NOT zero risk.



   Alternatively, one can purchase mil-spec connectors and tools from

   anyone with a high expectation for mix-n-match between tools and

   connectors.

Thanks again for the answer,but personaly never purchase cheap tools,use few times but allways do perfect job.

Now my next question.

ELT antenna,in a 180knots airplane I thinks a flexible spring antenna will be out of question ,I belive can't be mount inside an a aluminum plane,I found a spot under the vertical stabilizer ,the 10 use a thin fiberglass fairing,what you guys thinks will work?,.eventualy need to work only one time,in a shallow accidents probably don't needed but in a bad one ,the the antenna will be pointing up and almost at the highest point,(sorry for the humor)

here the pictures ,

thanks again ,Hugo
