Hello All,
There was a thread about soldering PL-259 connectors. I usually do a
modification to all mine by taking a 5/32" chainsaw file and filing grooves
in two of the solder holes for the braid on opposite sides of the connector
barrel. It makes soldering the braid M UCH easier and neater! Solder flows
better too. The notch bottom is even with the inner edge of the existing
holes.
Those interested please e-mail me and I will send a photograph. Maybe
someone can post this on someone's website if you think it will be helpful.
