Lol yes silver oxide. My replacement connectors are closed and the wire do touch the tip, but a number of the military ones do not. I will see if I can find one for a picture. I will concede that soldered battery connectors can be used, assuming the correct solder and flux. Most are built in now...
No, no, and no. IR yes.
The wires are full length silver coated. This is done to prevent oxidation of the copper. Once the silver is gone, oxides form and reduce conductivity greatly. None of the wires in the box are bare copper. Not a single connection was soldered. They were all crimped...

Funny how ugly becomes beautiful when disaster strikes. Essentially we all know we keep this vehicles in reserve for our neighborhoods, if disaster strikes. It can be days before the National Guard shows up.
Allowing the use of the road is really a small token for the state to pay for the...
I have a device that which I believe can capture the harmonics that you are talking about. If there is a break in the weather today, I may run some tests.
