I had that happen once too many years ago with an Amphenol PL-259.  Since
then I make sure that they fit together before soldering!

No, a bit paranoid perhaps but I disconnect the rig entirely, including 
p/s cable. It's not too bad since I'm mostly a CW operator and don't 
usually have a lot of other peripherals, SDR, computer, etc. connected 
to the K3.

BTW, I don't trust the Amphenol name particularly after getting a bad 
plug that wouldn't thread correctly (only realized after soldering the 
thing on the coax and trying to use it. Arggh!). Amphenol is offshore 
product now.
