have you looked at the K3LR method of installing 83-1SP connectors on 
coax? I've never used LMR600, so I haven't tried it with that cable, but 
it might be possible to make it work, perhaps even by shaving the 
dielectric.

I've tried this method on a couple of cables, and while I don't find it 
very easy to accomplish (probably it's a skill issue on my part), it's 
certainly a valid method electrically, and probably provides better 
shielding at the connector than soldering through the holes to the braid.
