[TenTec] soldering pl259

[Ben Hall]

Hi John,

I have a 175 watt Hexacon unit (very similar to an American Beauty - 
American made, heavy, etc...) that will solder PL259's without a hitch. 
  In fact, I recently soldered a PL259 onto some RG213 coax that I'm 
using with the Ten-Tec Scout here.

I'd say that a 250 watt unit would do just fine and might be a little 
overkill.

thanks and 73,
ben, kd5byb
