[TowerTalk] Reuse PL-259

[Fredric Serota]

Is there no way to "boil" off the solder? Or dissolve it? I have a whole bucket full of PL-259s with 1/4" coax sticking out. Seems like a waste. There's a future here for someone.

Fred, K3BHX

It's not possible to re-use a properly soldered UHF male connector!
