    RG6 Coax Connectors & Compression Tools

    Not to worry my friend. Using my 901024, I've already installed several Digicon connectors on RG6 quad shield with no problem what so ever. It was a "no brainer" to do.

    RG6 Coax Connectors & Compression Tools

    If you have screw-on connectors then most likely its standard not quad shield. I don't think there's a screw-on connector for quad. Look at the cable itself. Usually there are markings like brand name, type, etc. Some times is says whether it's quad. If not, Google search the brand name &...

    RG6 Coax Connectors & Compression Tools

    The items you're referring to are "BNC" connectors - a totally different animal. See this link. http://www.paladin-tools.com/seal58watcat.html.

    RG6 Coax Connectors & Compression Tools

    Ubless I'm mistaken, I think there are compression connectors made especially for RG59 coax. As Cascade pointed out, RG59 is smaller in diameter than RG6 so RG6 connectors can't install properly on it. I'm certain there are "crimp" connectors for RG59 but why would you want to use it anyway...

    RG6 Coax Connectors & Compression Tools

    For what ever it's worth, I just bought the Zenith tool (model ZDS5061) at a local Lowes store for $12.97. I've also seen it stocked at a few other large DIY stores. It's all metal & well built (the "mostly plastic" Zenith predecessor would break after a few uses). But I don't use the companion...

    Hotdish 95 &/or DD90 Dishes

    Thanks all for your comments. It appears that most of you have the 75CM version of HotDish. I was asking about the 95CM. Apparently it's too new to find many owners of them. I've installed the 95CM here. It seems to play well but it's got a really crappy elevation setting bracket and the...

    I would very much appreciate any information on these satellite dishes. Such as what material are they made from? Which is the strongest/most rigid? Performance comparisons? Personal experiences with them - good or bad? Which would you buy? Best regards, Dick
