According to the specification the center pin is soldered, so DO NOT
Attempt to crimp the center pin.
Purchase some proper coax prep tools it will make the easier and more
consistant.
DX Engineering sells the prep tools, crimpers, and connectors. Be sure
to use Amphenol connectors with the correct part number for the cable
your using.

I always put a little flux on the center conductor before I crimp it, then
solder.

Hi Bob,
Every site that I've visited dealing with this product shows them to
be crimp/solder connectors...

I use the DX Engineering Ultra-Grip 2 Crimp Connector Tool Kit, the DX
Engineering RG-213 cable, and Amphenol 182102 no solder crimp connectors
(both shield and pin are crimped - no soldering required). This
combination
has provided beautiful results for me without any problems. I will
never go
back to PL-259's that require solder.
Amphenol UHF crimp connectors from DX Engineering are reasonably
priced but
can usually be found at slightly lower cost from the major electronic
parts
suppliers.
