[TowerTalk] Connectors for LMR-400

[Mike]

I have been using PL-259's successfully on LMR-400 until today. Normally when 
I thread the connector over the dressed end of the cable, the connector body
"cuts" a thread in the outer jacket which tightens the connector body against
the cable. Perhaps I am getting them too hot or something but I did four or five
today and in all but one case the connector body was loose after soldering. There
is a good electrical connection between the braid and the connector vis-a-vis
the soldering, but I can't help but feel squeamish about the loose mechanical 
joint. 

Any advice?

Thanks, 

Mike, W4EF..........
