Attaching the KVH-provided
F-connector to an RF Cable
KVH has provided an F-connector
for use with the TracVision SA. This
connector specifically requires the
Augat Snap ‘n Seal Crimp/Strip

If you do not have this tool, you will
need to purchase a silicone-filled,
weatherproof F-connector (Radio
Shack Part Number 278-236 or
equivalent) to use instead.
