Bob That doesn't square with the large body of repeater owners who have used Wacom cavities. Their UHF products used RG-142. However, their VHF products used a proprietary cable which had: "MODIFIED RG-214 DOUBLE SHIELDED" which was nothing more or less than RG-214 without silver plating. Despite anecdotal experiences like yours, I've never heard a complaint from anyone who used that Wacom modified cable regarding desense. Have you? Bruce K7IJ In a message dated 7/30/2007 2:04:59 P.M.
