I'm surprised no one mentioned the well known
reason not to solder: the solder wicks up into
the stranded center conductor and stiffens it
which risks failure if there is a lot of flexing.
It will break right where the wicked solder ends.
This is why you will never find a solder joint
in airplane wiring.
It might be OK for a solid center conductor though.
