help with vhf radio install
I have a used VHF radio and a used Comrod 4' antenna.
What type of coax cable do I need to buy? What type connector do I need for the end going into the antenna and into the radio? The antenna connector attaches straight into the bottom of the antenna. (Just clarifying that because I don't know if they are all like that) Do I need special tools to attach the connectors? |

The connector at the radio end is called an "HN" type. For the cable you need a male HN. There are crimp type and solder types. I'd recommend the solder type. Eisboch |
