have you looked at the K3LR method of installing 83-1SP connectors on
coax? I've never used LMR600, so I haven't tried it with that cable, but
it might be possible to make it work, perhaps even by shaving the
dielectric.

I've tried this method on a couple of cables, and while I don't find it
very easy to accomplish (probably it's a skill issue on my part), it's
certainly a valid method electrically, and probably provides better
shielding at the connector than soldering through the holes to the braid.
