I'm curious if standard UHF crimp dies work on the DXE "Next Gen" connectors.  
If not, what crimp tool/dies are folks using?

For the last several years, I've been using RF Industries' RFU-507-ST crimp 
connectors on RG-213 and RG-11 class cables.  After crimping the center pin on 
cables with a stranded inner, I'll flow a small amount of solder.  Whether the 
concern is valid or not, I don’t trust the cold-weld action of a crimped 
connection on a stranded inner conductor.
