Great video Gary, I know the newer plugs are technically better but I found the older M&P plugs easier to terminate.

[@Martin_Lynch]

I'm told they are still available, we stock the evos as 99% of folks wanted the new ones.. I will check with M&P for you.. drop me an email [e-mail]

I was looking at Amphenol right angle PL 259 adapters this week. £40 each. Good connectors cost a lot of money unfortunately.

Whats the best temp for leaded and unleaded solder gary

[@Martin_Lynch]

that depends on the brand specs, when you do a cable end you have be mindful of the dielectric not melting.. typical temps I would say 220-300deg c but the most important thing (along with temps) is flux, use a good flux or fluxed solder.. Gaz
