Patrick,
Methinks you're going to wear your poor coax out from all the testing. I would simply advise disconnecting both ends of the coax and, using a good multimeter, look at the resistance between the center conductor and the shield. It ought to look to be open, ideally. But I wouldn't get upset if I saw may 5,000 ohms or more. Less and I would investigate the coax. When you first bridge the conductors of the coax, you may see a momentary reading on the multimeter. This is normal and is just the multimeter's voltage charging the capaci- tance of the coax. 73 for now, Cholly _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
