David, Several companies stock connectors for LMR 400 and Belden 9913. You never cut strands from LMR 400 It is a solid center conductor copper clad aluminum. LMR 400 Ultra Flex maybe.RF Industries makes connectors for speciality cables Stocked by RF PARTS.

You are absolutely right, Art, but when he said he "cut strands" he certainly had the ultraflex.....BUT, the correct connectors were extremely expensive years ago, and even with the LMR solid center conductor, I used to grind it to fit, and I rather doubt that kept me from even the most marginal signaled hamsat...But I guess I'll never know!!
If any part is in my garage, I find SOME way to use it.... Most of my fun in ham radio...
