Thanks for this. Its been well over a decade (maybe closer to two) since Ive installed these so I figured a refresher was in order

Oh cmon! Can't you spend 20 to 30 minutes screwing around and doing it wrong like all the other videos?!

Excellent!

I know it’s 11 years later, but really appreciate the video!

Make sure you use an iron with plenty of horsepower so the heat doesn’t stay on it too long. You heat it for too long and you will cremate the dielectric

Do we get to see how you built it Mgs??

Threads of 1/4"-20 would allow a camera to mount to the end. Screw the handle on and off.

What kind of solder do you use?

Wow. So many negative comments. How about you arm-chair brainiacs come up with your own system so we can tell you how it works?

Thanks...helped me...nice and simple explanation.

You are a good teacher. A lot of people try to impress us with how fast they can do things,that usually results in a half assed job. Keep up the good presentations.

Well done

The problem with using the PL259 and adapter is they provide very little strain relief. The soldered center conductor will ultimately provide the strain relief. Which is not ideal.

とても参考になりました！

Which push up mast is this? Also, are those the brackets that are sold on your website?

Excellent video. Clear, concise detailed instructions on the installation of a PL-259 connector onto RG8X coaxial cable.

What wattage iron did you use??

Not RG58A/U. Should have braid, then foil sleeve covering the dielctric. Why use a cruse craft knife when there are cheap co-ax strippers available to do a professional job. Why solder the pin, when you can crimp it with appropriate crimpers? Might as well use a compression fitting.

Great video! Clear, concise instructions and very thorough!

No rca jacks 😡 soldering causes lead 🤬 poison 🥵🥵 cheap easy at yard sales 😅 mousers electric 💡

Perfect instructions. Had me up and running in no time! Thanks.

I know this video is ancient now, and no-one read the comments anyway, but I had to add my 2 cents to this clip. You probably ruined your cable soldering the braid. It would have gotten hot enough that the dielectric would break down and your expensive cable would be a pile of crap. And the solder blobs you added are NOT going to stop the cable and connector coming apart any better than just soldering the centre conductor does. I have used these connectors in many places and they are fine with just the centre soldered. There are FAR better connectors available now.

Thanks for a very good and easy to understand video. Excellent!!

Your web site says the connectors are 3/4"ID

Outstanding video!

The only good advice in this video is to turn a battery operated device off when not in use. Goes without saying, and has nothing to do with the video title.

Great connectors, use them exclusively!

Thanks good refresher haven’t soldered for 25years 👍

EXCELLENT👍🏻👍🏻

Great Video! I would however use a damp paper towel to cool the connector body after soldering. Also, clean up any excess solder on the connector body with a knife or brush.

Shi that Sucked so bad bro but thanks for the video I finally got through it😂

Thanks for the video. Is the soldering iron on a constant on temp, or is it set to a specific temperature?

Short and sweet - heading out right now to do a few connectors RF400 to PL259 - its been awhile and I forget. Finally getting an HF Antenna up. Thankyou for the video 😄😄😄😄😄😄

Why talk so fast?

Disappointing video because you edited it and obscured the amount of time the iron needed to be on the connector to reach flow temperature. That's probably the most critical part, and people need to see that. You've also not answered questions about what wattage iron is used.

I would test for continuity before soldering but great video and we use this video for instructional purposes at our club W5ES. 73 de K5mhc

Thank you for this. Clear, concise, helpful.

My connector UG176 came with 2 little washer inside

its a hollow rod so air in tip should not trap air

Always TEST newly purchased coaxial & connectors

Best vid yet for this installation.

So you don't need flux?

The slick pole should have been sanded with 80 grit sand paper to allow the jb weld to have tooth to grab . Paint just like jb needs something to make it hold .

Nice Thanks

Very well done!

Thank you for posting this! Greatly appreciated.

Great Video. Thanks to you I used my smaller Ungar iron and was able to solder the round holes with ease.

JB Weld?
