Could it be the flux? I've never worked with CCA but it might be
worth trying one of the newer electronic solders while being careful
not to overheat.
Absolutely . . . and it doesn't have to be a
'newer' solder. The now 'ancient' Kester
Resin 44 is still great electronic solder.
Certainly an ambitious, no-clean electronic
flux goes a long way toward elevating the
quality of your joint. Eutectic alloy
(63/37) will enhance wetting of the
surfaces to be joined.
My experiments with CCA were conducted
with tin-plated terminals and a 63/37
Kester electronic solder. The joint
filled and wetted nicely with just a small
butane torch.

Hi All,
What is the 'best' way to connect to a marker beacon antenna's Rg400 coax c
able, Meaning I need to tie it to regular wire coming out of the audio pnl
with the receiver.
Should I just solder and heat shrink to the rg400 ?
or wire the regular wire to a bnc connector ?
or some other type of connector set up to do this ?
Thanks
Jeff

Solder a wire to the center conductor, then put heatshrink over it. For the
outer shield, use a simple Solder Sleeve with a lead on it. Put heatshrink
over the entire thing, no you have a nice termination from Coax to two small
AWG22 wires that will work in the audio connector, but put the pigtail a few
inches back (where it's easy to work with).
Cheers,
Stein

For the marker beacon, you could use a wet noodle and it would still work.
