Drill out the holes. Center conductor should be easy to unsolder then
if you use a big enough gun/iron to heat it fast.
Of course, thank-you. Simple when you think of it, but I was envisaging
a difficult desoldering operation.
While I am thinking about it, it usually works beter if you can cut the
shield and dielectric back so you just have about an inch or so of the
center conductor sticking out the back. Put the pl259 in a vise and
heat the center pin and pull the center conductor out the back with some
pliers. The do the drill out the holes thing.


Ralph, thanks a million, worked a dream.


Glad it worked out for you..
