Before you give up I suggest you buy the silver plated PL-259' s If you can't find them, then with a pocket knife or small file remove the nickel plating, use a good grade of rosin flux 37% Pb 63%Sn solder. THe aluminum will not solder but the braid is tin plated copper. You need a 250 Watt soldering gun or 100Watt iron Heat the first hole add solder then the second etc after the third hole you will notice the connector is hot enough for the solder to wick into the holes.

Thanks, but I've already spent a small fortune in additional tools to do this. I'm done. I just want to buy well-made cables.
