I wasn't sure, but that rings a bell. I think I had to drill
out the ones
for RG58 because that's all I had on hand. You know how that goes ;-)

I drill a hole perpendicular to the axis of the cable through the RG59
reducer (in the smooth area above the threads) so you can get solder to
flow into it, maybe that's

I should have elaborated when I recommended the 3/8.
I use a heat gun to make the jacket a little more pliable.
Works great.

For 3/8 Superflex, the OD of the cable shield is just a tad too big to
screw into a PL-259 easily, so I take a drill bit and shave off the

Is it ok to use Silver PL259's and nickel reducers (UG176)?
Thanks to everyone on their input. Trying
I probably would if I had nothing else.

It's a lot easier to get solder to flow on silver-plated connectors and
reducers...you don't have to use as much heat so it causes less
damage/deformation to the dielectric and jacket.

Jim,
Thank you VERY much for trying this and letting me know. That will save me a
lot of time with this project.
I have read an article that uses 1/4 superflex with PL259 and UG176 reducers,
and will order some new cables and connectors for the jumpers I need. Superflex
is cheaper than RG214

I've used 1/4 superflex with PL259 reducer. Works fine. Seems like I
had
to drill the reducer, but that's easy anyway.

Thanks Chris.
So using 3/8 superflex and silver PL259 seems tight enough
Chuck, if you use a reducer made for RG59 (and RG8X?) there's no need to drill.
Perfect fit.
