Rewiring my CB -- Can I solder the wiring?
I'm going to rewire my CB's wiring this coming weekend once a new coax cable comes in the mail. When wiring, I normally just twist the wires together when adding on the extension wire, and electrical tape it. But, electrical tape eventually seems to unravel. I was thinking one of two options: soldering or substituting the electrical tape with heat shrink tubing.
Can I solder cb electrical wires together? If so, any pros to that versus just twisting the wires together?
For the heat shrink tubing, that stuff pretty good? Better than electrical tape?
Thanks!

I just connected my power leads to a dc cigarette lighter plug, so i can remove the cb when not in use real easily. Just an idea, however, i would recommend solder with heat shrink over the top when done if i were doing it
