Pro tip: stop torquing the F connector till it squeaks, you're crushing the dielectric
Had a service call in Mesa last Tuesday where the picture was pixelating on every channel above 100, and the guy before me had cranked the connector down so hard the white plastic inside was smashed flat. I put my 7/16 wrench on it and it was tighter than the fittings I use on hardline, way past finger tight plus a quarter turn. New connector, snug only, and the MER jumped from 28 to 38 with zero errors on the meter. Curious how many of you were taught to really lean on those things, because I did it for my first year too.
