BLADE DEPTH WITH THE INCLUDED ALLEN WRENCH FOR A PERFECT CUT ON YOUR
WORKING COAX.  THEN, INSTALL THE PL 259, ENSURING YOURE USING THE
PROPER SIZE, AND THE SHIELD OF THE COAX IS ABOVE THE BOTTOM PART OF
THE CONNECTOR SEE FIGURE 12.  MOVE THE RING OVER THE SHIELD TOWARD
THE CONNECTOR SEE FIGURE 13.  CRIMP THE RING IN PLACE, ENSURING THAT
THE CRIMP PORTION IS CLOSEST TO THE END OF THE CONNECTOR SEE FIGURE

REMOTE STATION SUPPORT USING THE WEB INTERFACE, APPROPRIATELY
DIRECTED THROUGH A FIREWALL IN YOUR NETWORK, YOU CAN USE THE 4005I
AS PART OF A REMOTE STATION TO ENABLE AND DISABLE OUTPUTS AND
MONITOR THE ASSOCIATED LOADS FOR APPROPRIATE CURRENT DRAIN FROM A
SINGLE WEB PAGE.  IN ADDITION, YOU CAN SET UP HELPFUL EMAIL ALERTS
TO KEEP YOU INFORMED OF STATUS CHANGES AND THE CURRENT SYSTEM STATE,
BOTH OF WHICH ARE VERY HELPFUL TO A REMOTE OPERATOR.  IN ADDITION TO
ITS WEB INTERFACE, THE 4005I CAN BE CONTROLLED AS PART OF A BROADER
REMOTE SOLUTION USING PLATFORMS SUCH AS NODE RED.  DAVE DE COONS,
WO2X, HAS BUILT A PROJECT TO ADD A 10010I TO HIS STATION DASHBOARD
AND USE THAT TO CONTROL AND MONITOR LOADS CONNECTED TO IT.  THE
4005I SUPPORTS THE SAME KIND OF REMOTE AUTOMATION.  IN ADDITION,
NODE RED CAN PROVIDE FUNCTIONALITY THAT THE 4005I DOESNT NATIVELY
SUPPORT, SUCH AS SHUTTING DOWN ALL PORTS SIMULTANEOUSLY IN THE EVENT
OF NEARBY LIGHTNING.  NODE RED IS BUT ONE OF MANY AUTOMATION
PLATFORMS THAT HAMS ARE USING FOR REMOTE STATION CONTROL, BUT IT IS
ONE OF THE MOST ACCESSIBLE AND LOW LIFT PLATFORMS TO USE.  DAVES

RADIO DELUXE COAX CRIMP KIT REVIEWED BY PASCAL VILLENEUVE, VA2PV
MOST HAMS WILL CONSIDER BUYING SPECIALIZED TOOLS AT SOME POINT.  A
FEW YEARS AGO, I BOUGHT A CRIMPER FOR THE ANDERSON POWERPOLE =  END
OF 35 WPM TEXT  =  QST DE W1AW  < =  NOW 30 WPM  = POWER CONNECTIONS
AND REPLACED ALL OF MY DC CONNECTIONS IN MY RADIO STATION.  THIS
PROVED TO BE A GOOD INVESTMENT, BECAUSE NOW ALL OF MY CONNECTIONS
ARE COMPATIBLE.  IVE LOOKED AT COAX CRIMPER TOOLS OFTEN, BUT BECAUSE
I WAS ABLE TO DO MY CONNECTORS WITH MY SOLDERING STATION AND MOST OF
THEM LASTED A LONG TIME WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, BUYING CRIMPERS WAS
ALWAYS BUMPED DOWN MY PRIORITY LIST.  BUT AT THE 2022 DAYTON
HAMVENTION I DECIDED TO PURCHASE THE QUICKSILVER RADIO DELUXE COAX
CRIMP KIT, ALONG WITH A FEW PL 259 CONNECTORS FOR RG 58, RG 8 RG
213, AND RG 8X COAX.  CRIMPING VERSUS SOLDERING  IN MY HUMBLE
OPINION, CRIMPING AND SOLDERING ARE EQUIVALENT IF THE CONNECTOR IS
INSTALLED CORRECTLY WITH THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS.  ON THE OTHER HAND,
CERTAIN SITUATIONS ARE BEST SUITED TO ONE ATTACHMENT METHOD VERSUS
THE OTHER.  WITH BOTH METHODS, THE TIP NEEDS TO BE SOLDERED
FORTUNATELY, THIS IS THE EASIEST PART.  THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE TWO IS THE WAY YOU CONNECT THE COAX SHIELD THIS IS ALSO THE PART
THAT ENSURES THAT YOU HAVE A SOLID CONNECTION.  WITH THE SOLDERING
METHOD, THE RESULTS DEPEND ON THE MELTING POINT OF THE COAX
DIELECTRIC, AND THE SOLDERING IRON
