Can someone tell me how to install a new bnc connector for my mag mount.
The original one I had broke , so what I did was cut that one off and went over to radio shack and got one that you stick the coax in a twist on , well I twisted it on , put the wire in the little hole and then twisted it on.
Now to see if it worked I took another radio I got and programed the same frequency in that my radio that I'm using the mag mount on , and when the frequency became active I get nothing out of it .
I guess my questions are did i get the right connector for the job ? and if there is a better connector for this job can someone send me a link to buy one ?
Here is how I instaled it and it wont work
1. I took a knife and spliced the black wire
2. Then I cut the braided wires on the inside off
3. then I spliced the white wire thats in the middle of the cable off and twisted the wire that was in the white plastic stuff and stuck it in the hole in the bnc connector and twisted it on and I get nothing
Now when sticking the wire in the little hole I don't think it is going in the hole all the way cause it is real tight and hard to get in the hole thats why I am thinking I got the wrong connector but I am not for sure
Here is a link to the type of connector I'm working with , now can someone tell me if this is the right one or not and maybe give me a few pointers on how to fix it the right way I dont care if I got to go buy another connector I just want to get it back working and fixed right THANKS---- JASON
