Regardless of the method of soldering a PL-259, before trying to flow solder through the holes in the connector, use a file on the surface surrounding the holes and even in the holes (you can use a small reamer)
This is completely unnecessary (and is a really bad idea) if you are using Amphenol 83-1SP connectors -- they are silver-plated, which makes them very easy to solder, and if you file them you remove the silver plating!
83-1SP is the full part number, no additional letters or numbers. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
