Jorge,
You do not need or want a high silver content. It will be too brittle.
What you should ask for is a solder that has high tensile strength, is
ductile, and works well with copper or whatever your radials are.
That will not be a high silver content. It will probably be less than 8%
silver with high tin content.
Higher temperature is supposedly good for resistance to lightning, although
I never had a joint unsolder even when regular electronics 60/40 soldered.

Subject: Topband: Silver solder
Hello
I read about using silver to solder wire radials to terminals
This week I decided to ask sellers about silver solder and they offered me
a 2% and 30% silver bars
What we need for our use? Will be ok to use 2%? The difference in price is
extremely high!
Thanks,
Jorge
