Had a similiar issue on a sta 7-was shorting out to 7A
Also, most people only check for continunity, not shorting to the other pins. If the center and shield are shorting- you will have cont and no video.
By the way- when you changed the fwd switch-it prob took spec an entire day pulling everything known to man outa the avionics bay...poor bastards |

[quote="nam11b"]I have to disagree, I have never had the TDR solve a problem for me. On fiber on the other hand, the new OTDR are suprisingly accurate.
A TDR is just like any other tool. It has its purpose. And you need to know how to use it.
With any radio problems. You can hook up the TDR and know where the break in the RF cable is at in about a minute. |

| I used to shoot wires many moons ago with a TDR...used correctly, it is a fine tool in your toolbox. |
