Re: [Repeater-Builder] LMR-400 Coax use for Repeater to Duplexer Connections

2007-12-30 Thread Chuck Kelsey 
Personally, I would not use LMR cable anywhere. For some short jumpers I'd 
use RG-400 which uses two silver-plated braids and is about the same 
diameter as RG-58.

Go to www.repeater-builder.com and then to the Antenna Systems page.
Scroll down to System Engineering and read the second article titled
"Recommended Coax and Connectors for the iDEN Enhanced Base
Transceiver System".  Now I know that iDEN is not an amateur system
but the physics holds true.

[Repeater-Builder] LMR-400 Coax use for Repeater to Duplexer Connections

2007-12-29 Thread n4rpd 
I remember this was a topic of discussion over a year ago and I read
all the posts but I do not find a definitive yes or no answer on
whether or  not to use LMR-400 Coax as the interconnect between my UHF
repeater and duplexer.  I have two 2' cables with N-Connectors at the
duplexer and PL-259s at the repeater (that is what is on the repeater).  

Comments or recommendations to ensure a successful build?

Thanks,
Rob, N4RPD
