Topband: coax soldering

[MICHAEL ST ANGELO]

I don't like soldering to coax connectors and use crimp connectors.


I know they made BNC crimp connectors for RG-6. They may make crimp type PL259 connectors for RG-6.


Another option is to stick with F type compression connectors and install  F type female receptacles on the equipment.
