Re: [Repeater-Builder] Ultimate test coax cables

[albemarle7]

While the discussion is about proper and quality cable, don't forget to keep away from PL 259 style Tee connectors sold by Radio Shack.  They have a little coil spring that puts pressure on the center conductor going between both SO 239 ends. This little spring is the center connection and it also is a RF coil and acts as an inductor that will play havoc on 440 MHz area and above frequencies. I cut one in half with a hacksaw and the spring on center conductor is quite obvious. Use only quality connectors. Gary  K2UQ   YAHOO!
