Hello All: I soldered the last end PL-259 connector without slipping on the outer shell being on the coax. Oh wonderfull!!!!
This really made me mad as I built up a few really needed PL-259 and N type connector type, coax jumpers.
So I left the Advanced State of the Art, International Headquarters, the garage, for some TV watching, and get away from my screw up.
Returning I had a game plan to NOT desolder the connector without the outer screw shell, or cut it off. I took the outer shell, and cut it in half length wise and opened it up to allow the coax to go inside of it and then screwed it onto a S0-239 receptacle solder the shell back together. Success!
Ok I am much better now. Feel free to share your "I saved it" stories.
