That may be\n> \"gilding the lily\".....\n\nI have a brand-new Icom IC-910H. It has PL-259 on its VHF connector  \nand N on the UHF. I have a duplexer with matching connectors, and  \nPL-259 on its output. It is this that I am trying to connect to a  \nsingle dual-band vertical antenna (Diamond X-30, something like  \nthat?). (I also have an Arrow II dual-band hand-held Yagi, limited to  \n20 W).\n\nI don't know how feasible it is to replace the connectors. I would  \n*love* it if all used N, but they don't. I could buy pre-made N- \nconnector feedlines, but then I need an adapter, and that might result  \nin more loss than it's worth.\n\nIf I could successfully solder them, it'd be great, but I simply  \ncannot get solder to flow without first melting the outer jacket (I  \nsee it move and ooze where it exits the connector), and who knows how  \nbad the foam dielectric is at this point?\n\nI'm using a small butane torch, and vice grips on either side of the  \nholes. I tried tinning the braided shield beforehand with my electric  \niron (a nice Metcal), but even that melts the dielectric if I'm not  \nextremely careful (and I don't think it's bonding well to the foil  \nshield).\n\nHow hard is it to replace the one PL-259 connector on the IC-910H with  \nan N?\n\n-- \nRick\n\n\n\n",
