[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1056297, member: 176256"] I don't know of any F-plugs that need soldering so I would think that you've done something wrong there. There are three types of F-plug; screw on, compression and crimp. There's a guide to fitting a compression type plug here [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/wphome.php/category/tips-and-tricks/']Tips and Tricks – SatsUK[/URL] ; you can't fit a compression plug (or a crimp plug) without a special tool but the guide should help with identification. In fact you can actually use the guide to fit a screw type plug. The important thing is to make sure that there is not even the slightest whisp of copper wire from the outer braid touching the centre copper wire. When the plug is fitted make sure that the central wire is not bent over before refitting to the receiver. [/QUOTE]
