[time-nuts] T'bolt antenna lead-in running near HF RF transmitting coax

2012-01-20 Thread James Robbins
Can I run the coax feed-in from a Symmetricom 58532A GPS antenna (feeding my T'Bolt) adjacent to coax which is carrying HF RF of 500 watts? I have a 1.5 hole through an outside wall in my house through which my HF ham antenna coax passes (LMR400 coax). Can I safely run the GPS antenna

Jim, A few of the correct ferrite Common Mode Chokes on the lines would not hurt. Also, use good quality coax, preferably with both a copper braid and conductive foil to get near 100% shielding efficiency. Hardline is probably better. I'll ask about the best Common Mode Choke location. My hunch

Actually, I've found Radio Shack RG-58 to be a pretty good replacement for Radiax. Don't fight it, just use it where it works well! :) ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to

Now I would agree with that. Still the short term degradation really a nasty issue. On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 3:52 PM, David VanHorn d.vanh...@elec-solutions.com wrote: Actually, I've found Radio Shack RG-58 to be a pretty good replacement for Radiax. Don't fight it, just use it where it

My hf antenna is approx 20 feet from my gps antenna and I've never noticed any issues at 100 watts running rtty. -- On Fri, 20 Jan, 2012 9:29 PM EST Chris Albertson wrote: On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 10:41 AM, James Robbins jsrobb...@earthlink.net wrote:  Can I
