Re: [Repeater-Builder] Ultimate test coax cables

I found a Ratshack N right angle adapter on a 931Mhz 300 watt paging
station years ago.  The adapter was actually glowing red from the
spring inside heating the case!

While the
discussion is about proper and quality cable, don't forget to keep away
from PL 259 style Tee connectors sold by Radio Shack.  They have a
little coil spring that puts pressure on the center conductor going
between both SO 239 ends. This little spring is the center connection and
it also is a RF coil and acts as an inductor that will play havoc on 440
MHz area and above frequencies. I cut one in half with a hacksaw and the
spring on center conductor is quite obvious. Use only quality
connectors.
