Thanks Gary… very nice presentation. The M&P plugs are excellent engineering they are like jewellery, I’m really impressed with them, yes expensive and although the old ones for a quid for two will ‘do’ but with all the technology advances why not buy once, buy the best. Best wishes to everyone.73. 💙
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 support@hamradio.co.uk
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

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

What is that tool called that helps you mark the coax?? You said it can cut coax but takes to long so you used a Swiss army knife??

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