[TowerTalk] Soldering RG-6 to pl-259

[Bob Nielsen]

I would be very wary of doing that, since the higher temperature  
required for silver soldet would likely melt the foamed dielectric of  
the cable.  perhaps a F compression connector and an adapter like  
<http://outlet.cableorganizer.com/NQP-CAD-1380.html?section=8&catname= 
%0ARF+Coaxial+Connectors+%5D+Interseries+Adapters> would meet your  
needs.
