Cheap RG6, the one with CCS center conductor, sometimes shows quiet high losses (few db per 300ft.) at 1-5 mhz and at the same time quiet low at higher frequencies;
Not only the losses but signal leakage is important and not every brand of RG213 or RG6 is suitable at some instalations; YMMV 2012/1/3 Bill and Liz McHugh <[email protected]> > There is only ONE way to properly install a PL-259 connector and if you > are not using that method then anything can happen.
