Re: [Repeater-Builder] Coax Question

[Chuck Kelsey]

The foil shielded cable is a noise generator. 99% of the time you will experience noise in duplex service with foil shielded cable.   As far as what to use for interconnections, you obviously weren't reading the previous posts. Use 1/4" superflex, RG-142, RG-400, RG-213 along with a few others. You want a coax cable that has two braids, preferably silver plated. The heliax has a solid shield.   Chuck WB2EDV       ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Overstreet To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Cc: Scott Overstreet Sent: Saturday, November 27, 2004 8:44 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Coax Question OK guys ---I hear you all saying that hard line is better but none of you have said what is the actual problem with 9913 flex or LMR-400. In other words---What is wrong with a quality foil under braid "100%"shielded foam cable and I'm assuming use between receiver and  duplexer, transmitter and duplexer and duplexer and antenna?    And then the next question that follows is that inside a cabinet full of stuff where 1/2 inch hard line is just to stiff -----what do you suggest ---and in this case assume that we are talking about three or four repeaters----yes, receivers, transmitters, isolators and duplexers all in the same rack cabinet?   Scott N6NXI Yahoo!
