I'll give it a try someday!
Perhaps I'll learn something new!
It doesn't have either the mass or power to hold temp when touched
to the side of a PL259...but perhaps it has some other voodoo in its'
innards
to get the job done. And I don't even have to buy anything new!! Always
nice!
Tnx!!

When I first looked at my Hako and those connectors, I thought it would be
as
you described, but I was mistaken, and so are you. My bench is outside on
my
deck, and ALL of the connectors I've installed were done outside in the
wind.
Most of the time, the temperature was in the 50s and 60s.
