I've never assembled one of these. Does the center conductor come out and
get soldered before inserting the connector on the coax for crimping?
Depends which one you have. The center pin solder type will generally
ship with the center pin loose in the bag. That type is usually for the
"UF" (stranded center conductor) cable. If it seems to be captured in
the connector, it's a non-solder type - you just trim the center
connector to the right length, usually 1/4", bevel the edge, and push it
in. You'll feel the insertion resistance and a slight give as it mates
up. The non-solder type is a better choice for standard LMR400.
