LMR-400 is a good cable that may be less expensive than the heliax. >I would really like to optimize my receiving quality but I also want to >know where to put all my effort first. I'd start with the preamp first. 73, Drew KO4MA _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
