Good morning all,
I'm tired of trying to get a good PL-259 by soldering as my hands often shake too
much. Though eventually I get it done.
I recently read some comments elsewhere that a well-crimped connector is just as
good, but wondering what you all think before I try it. I'm not talking about the
tool that crimps regular connectors designed for soldering as I hear the tend to
crack the connector. But I am talking about the ratcheted type that leaves a hex
shaped-crimp on a connecter designed for it. I would do this with both 9913 Davis
buryflex and LMR-240 UF.
Thanks!
