[Elecraft] OT Quality UHF Connectors

[Pete Michaelis - N8TR]

I believe the Mouser description is incorrect.  The Amphenol UHF catalog at:
http://www.amphenolrf.com/products/CatalogPages/UHF.pdf
clearly shows the 83-1SP as having silver body plating while the plating
on the 83-1SP-1050 is nickel.  That said,  I have never had any 
trouble soldering
to the 83-1SP-1050.  I tin the braid then use an American Beauty 100 or 200
watt iron.  It is important that the  tip have enough thermal mass.  Even
a Weller 550 soldering gun does not have a large enough tip.
