Should not be a problem soldering PL259 to LMR400.  But use a really sharp
knife to cut the jacket.  It is very hard.

Fellow Tower Talkians:

I recently bought 100 feet of LMR 400 to feed a 2m/400 vertical on top of my
tower at 70 feet.  Going to have to cut it to feed it through the wall and
solder on a new PL259 once I get it through the wall feed through.  Any
problems soldering it, getting LMR 400 into a PL259?  Been using RG213 in
the past.  I had heard rumors that soldering LMR400 could be a pain?

Tom, WW5L
