Hello All,
This is all good and right on the money!
But reminder that every 3 db cuts your
signal in half. I would not use the 9913
on a repeater my self you mite want to
look into some 1/2" Hard-Line type coax.
Less loss and you will not get the static
type of noise of 9913 type coax.
Be very careful of buying used Hard-Line
type of coax. Unless you can sweep it
to make darn sure it is good. Just a small
amount of moisture will mess up a whole
roll of Hard-Line type coax. A bad fork
lift operator will mess up a roll as well.
We get Hard-Line type coax at work some
times brand new right off the truck from
the manufacture and when we sweep it
with a TDR it is bad. So be very careful
of any used or take down Hard-Line type
coax unless YOU can test it and not who
you are buying it from. There is an old
saying and that is it all ways is good at the
Ham fest.
I also agree do not get cheap on your
antenna. If you need small on 440 the
DB-404 is a good low cost omni. You can
go to the repeater-builders page. There is
a list and info on all types of antennas
and where to buy them.
Just my two cents.
