I recall looking into using Cool-Amp to silver-plate components for custom
filter products that we were designing and building in-house. As I recall,
even as high as 100 MHz, the Cool-Amp plating thickness was insufficient,
and it couldn't be "built up" thicker without degrading conductivity which,
as I recall, was appreciably less than silver electroplating to start with.
Anyone have any measured data or links to research regarding silver plating
with Cool-Amp?
