The first task is to figure out stripper that's designed specifically for coax cable . . .
. . . take a look at the insides, and you can imagine what it's supposed to do.
Stick the cable in and spinn it around a few times . . .
. . . and shazam, there's the end of it, ready for the connector.
As you might suspect, it takes a little practice to get this tool to behave in a way that you want it to - if you don't spin it enough, it doesn't cut through all the layers, if you spin it too much, it'll have a tendency to cut through the outer (grounding) layer of wire.
Not tough to use, just takes a bit of practice, so it's not quite as easy as it looks here . . . until you practice. Then it is.
Comm antenna is now hooked up.
There's the transponder antenna, too. Both of these required a 90 degree attachment so that the cable wouldn't have a tendency to stick straight up into the bottom of the seatpan.
There's the other end of the cable for the transponder - the radio's not in there yet.
Shazam! Now it works! Well, you can't tell that from this picture . . .
