Amen, George, on mating the “tiny indentations.” It’s easy to ignore this step because many hams think they mate automatically as the PL-259 penetrates the SO-239. They sometimes don’t. The coax itself has to be rotated back and forth until the mating can be felt through one’s fingers. Indentations on cheap connectors have minimal mating surfaces or none at all.
