Soldering

Yes, but it's tricky (you can damage your transmitter if too much power is reflected back — the impedance discontinuity at the solder point must not be too large (cool animations)).

You need to be somewhat experienced with soldering before jumping in.

• good pictures
• good pictures
• if the circuit board has a pre-designed place to solder a connector in place, then you're golden, somebody has already done most of the engineering for you
  • soldering an RF connector is much easier than trying to solder coax cable
    (note: different RF connectors are designed to be attached differently, make sure you buy the kind that's designed to be soldered)
  • another card with traces already built-in
• lots of pictures
