I'm with you, Frank. I just don't have these problems with them. After soldering more UHF plugs in 42 years than I could possibly ever count, I know how to properly assemble and solder them. And I keep the contact surfaces coated with DeoxIT D-100 (indoors) or filled with silicone dielectric grease (when I used to use them outdoors; we now use F connectors outdoors). Rarely, I've used a very small screwdriver to bend the four SO-239 socket segments in so they grip the plug better. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
