The short end with the male N connector goes to the
internal filter/duplexer (i.e. transmitter output).
The short end with the female N bulkhead connector
goes to the station junction panel and out to the
antenna. The long end with the right-angle male SMA
connector goes to the receiver input.
It looks like RG400, and since the receiver is on
slide trays, that cable has to be somewhat flexible.
There are plenty of photos of a UHF MSF repeater on
repeater-builder. I guess very few people in this
group ever heard of that site, much less read articles
there. I'll say it once - for the last time in 2007 -
it's aggravating to hear that people are too lazy to
search for, and read, information on the web. Maybe
it's an "ego" thing.
