No longer using Made in USA generics
Only using the Amphenol 83-1SP - PL-259 from Mouser

Subject: [TowerTalk] Soldering PL-259
A few weeks ago, I started with a 50' length of RG-213 and, after many
attempts at soldering PL-259s, the coax was 44' long. HI!
Lately, I have been ordering coax lengths with the connectors already
soldered. I use them for runs from external antenna relays to the antennas.
DIN plugs are the job that I really hate. I order a few more than I need
because of soldering errors.
