Far more reliable than buggering about with big soldering irons and much quicker to apply. For an example see ebay item 290800326125. Right! WHS The Napoleonic work-creation employed in getting candidate licence holders to solder PL259s roughly equates to making the potential user of an MP3 player get a certificate of competence in how to use wind-up gramophones, but with rather more H&S risks involved. IOW, it's as ridiculous as making them wire a mains plug, when all they'll do is buy factory-made gear that has by law for the last 25 years had to have a mains plug pre-fitted. Perhaps it's something to do with the M3-popular 4kW 'burners'. Rather than all this farting and flapping about with the totally unnecessary, it'd be easier and cheaper to get a HAREC from, say, the IRTS single-sitting single exam. A UK (Reciprocal) Full licence obtained on the strength of it is indistinguishable over the air from any other UK Full licence. I recently bought one for a short jumper cable to adapt from PL-259 to N female (and have some flexibility at the same time) and those connectors not only are much easier to fit but also connect much more reliably. -- Spike "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power" - Abraham Lincoln |
