In this quick video, I show how I solder on PL259 plugs onto coax cable for CB and Ham radio use.
Disclaimer: I am by no means an antenna expert but this method was shown to me 25 years ago and it's served me well ever since. I've never had any issues with it but there are other ways to do it but I thought I'd share how I have done mine.
This video will be of no use to you seasoned radio operators but this video is really to help along beginners to the hobby of radio.
Thanks for stopping by,

Thanks Tim, appreciate it. I remember the first one I did, and soldered the braid and centre conductor together inside the plug...lol
