I have read information from a credible source that properly done crimp connections actually cold weld the materials together and are superior to soldering. While not a direct answer to your question it makes me lean toward the crimp solution.

I'm going to replace all of the RG213 coax on my current tower with LMR-600. I've been researching connectors.

Looks like there are two varieties, crimp and clamp connectors. After watching a few you tube videos of the installation process of both, I'm leaning towards the crimp type. It does require a good crimp tool, but it looks a little more robust than the clamp variety.

Any opinions out there if one is better than the other?

Thanks
