No problem on the link, Mike. Glad it as the same stuff! A 1/4-wave cable on an open circuit "introduces" a short... If I remember correctly (and I'm sure if I'm wrong others will correct me!) you need a 1/2-wave cable between cans.
Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Mike Reed Yes, it does have that marking. Appricate the link. Not to be redundant, is the length I need to use is 1/4 wave for connection to cavitys, right? 73 Mike - N7ZEF ----- Original Message ----- From: "n9wys" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 7:01 AM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Coax Help Mike, Are there any other markings on the cable? Specifically, I'd be looking for the following: "FSJ1-50A" This is 1/4" "Superflex" - about the same size as RG-8X... Velocity factor for this (FSJ1-50A) cable is 84% http://awapps.commscope.com/catalog/product_details.aspx?id=1342 Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of n7zef Howdy; I was given today 2 pieces of mini-hardline marked "Andrews Type 204909". It is the size of mini-8. I think this is 50 ohm, but what would be the velocity factor of it? I want to use it to make lines for 146.7/146.1 and 443.3/448.3 between radio and cavitys. Putting on the ends, does it take anything special, I would like to use solder on type id I could. Appreciate any help I may get... 73 Mike - N7ZEF ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
