In addition to the recommendations from the previous e-mail about the
best brand / kind of PL259 connectors, I would also like to ask how is
the best way to attach them to the coax (including the different sizes
of coax I am likely to encounter)
I am trying to achieve a long lasting, water tight installation that I
wont have to mess with for many many years.
For a long time, I have soldered them, but i have around a 25% failure
rate, which could be due to my soldering skills, or to technique.
I have also read some about crimping on the connectors, which I have NO
experience, but if its better than soldering, I'm open to it, but I
Really need some instructions / links etc.
Thanks
