I gave up on trying to find one. A hot air paint stripping gun works better to get the PL259 body up to temp very quickly;after that, a 40 watt Weller TCP with a number 8 bit works fine - that's on RG8 size cable, too. I also recommend a cheap tubing cutter to cut the tinned braid exactly to length. Just remember to put the sleeve on the cable first!! 73 Peter G3RZP -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/amps Submissions: amps@contesting.com Administrative requests: amps-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-amps@contesting.com |
