Oops! Quite right. Thank you Dwight! RG-74 is big stuff. RG-174 is the small stuff (like the TMP coaxial cables used in the K3/K3S).
As others pointed out RG-174 has only one internal conductor. You need to tie two lengths together for a three-conductor cable, but for a short pigtail such as a Y-adapter that shouldn't be a problem. Another source is telephone cable used to connect junction boxes to the telephone service entry point. It's a little bigger but has four wires inside which should be FB for phones or speaker wiring even though it has no shield. Even in this day of wireless phones, you can usually find telephone cable in bulk at most home-improvement stores. The stuff I have is 3/8" in diameter. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: DGB [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 8, 2015 6:40 AM To: Ron D'Eau Claire Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Headphone Splitter - Not The Kind You May Be Thinking Are you sure you didn't mean RG-174 Ron? 73 Dwight NS9I ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
