Good morning all,

I'm tired of trying to get a good PL-259 by soldering as my hands often shake 
too 
much.  Though eventually I get it done.

I recently read some comments elsewhere that a well-crimped connector is just 
as 
good, but wondering what you all think before I try it.  I'm not talking about 
the 
tool that crimps regular connectors designed for soldering as I hear the tend 
to 
crack the connector. But I am talking about the ratcheted type that leaves a 
hex 
shaped-crimp on a connecter designed for it.  I would do this with both 9913 
Davis 
buryflex and LMR-240 UF.

Thanks!
