Adapting a PL-259 RF Connector to the RG-213 Cable

PL-259 is a commonly used RF connector mainly used in VHF/UHF handheld/base radios. This connector is more suited for RF cables such as RG-213. We also use this connector for all types of HF cables with a suitable reducer as well as in patch cords. We recommend high quality of PL-259 connectors due to risk of RF leakage and SWR issues. Step-by-step method for attaching the connector is displayed in this video.
