[TowerTalk] UHF (PL259) soldered center with braid crimp or crimp-crimp, supply?

[terry burge]

Hi Martin and the group,

I've tried many types of solder on PL-259's and I like the gold plated tips. I've had a couple of the more standard silver ones that broke out the back ring on the screw on cover piece. I thought they were Amphenol but that may be wrong. But now I stay with the gold center conductor type. They also seem easier to solder on. Which matters to me especially since my ability to solder on coax connectors could be called 'suspect'. I can really make a mess of them sometimes without trying.
