Hi Everyone,
Quick question: Should the coax from the KX3 to the KXPA100 be RG-8x or RG-8
(or the equivalents). The length will be two (2) feet.
Tnx & 73,
Jeff/wb0m

I use Belden RG-174 from KX3 to amp. No problems on loss because it is only 2
feet long. I use an RCA male connector on each end of RG-174 & that plugs into
the RCA female to BNC adapter on the KX3 side & RCA female to PL-259 adapter on
KXPA100. Just leave adapters on amp & KX3 which makes a v
IMHO 8x is a good choice. 8 is overkill.

Hi Everyone,
Quick question
Jeff,
Either would be more that adequate. You could also use RG58 if that is
better for you.
It does not have to have the high voltage ratings of RG8, and RG58 is
more flexible than RG8X.
No need for overkill.

For a 2 foot cable, I don't think the loss will be significant whatever
cable is used. Cable loss for RG8 is about 1.6 dB / 100 ft at 50 MHz. Cable
loss for RG8x is about 2.5 dB / 100 ft at 50 MHz. Cable loss for RG58 is
about 3.3 dB / 100 ft at 50 MHz. So 2 ft of each would be 0.03 dB or 0.05
dB o
5 matches
