OOPS...belay my last!....RG-8X
I been spending way too much time fooling with wifi crap....(c; sorry INCOMING! HEAD FOR THE SHELTER!! It should have read: "Staggering"? RG-8X would be much better at about the same price. It's only a hair bigger diameter, available at any marine store selling electronics. With a 40' run of RG-8X you still get 75% efficiency. If you must: http://shop.electro-comm.com/ac/Prod...=19707&view=24 LMR-1700-DB, double-shielded, direct burial, waterPROOF will give you 97.9% at 156.8 for 40' but noone will notice it on the air, only in your pocket book at $10/ft plus some pretty impressive connectors. Way overkill. It's 1 1/4" diameter...not good. RG-6 is better. The Icom M802 on Lionheart has about 70' of RG-8X to a Metz Manta 6 at 55'. Savannah is 100 miles from here. I hear them all the time and I know they can hear me because they called me...(c; Larry -- If we eliminate religion, will they stop murdering each other? |
