Does anyone use RG11? I have never used it and is it harder to put
connectors on over RG6? Thanks.
Depends on the type. If it's the copper based version, regular UHF plugs
can be soldered on just as is done with the more common RG-8. The aluminum
based type would use a specific crimp

require the right tools.
One problem with RG-6 for MW frequency is the loss. The center
I would second the Cat 5e approach. I've done a number of controlled tests
and it outperforms RG-58 hands down, MW thru 10 meters, for noise
performance and signal loss. With shorter runs (50 feet or so) I haven't
needed baluns.

Another test I made is making a balun for each end and using CAT5
ethernet network cable. It's balanced and gathers less noise or
unwanted signals on the way in. Also cheap and very easy to build.

Steve, Kaz, I sent you a .pdf off-line that should be of use.

Someone please advise me here as I am extremely weak
Pat:
Standard Belden RG6 (8215 or 7915) runs .399 and .195 dB loss
respectively per 100 feet.
Standard Belden RG11 (8213, 8238, 8261) runs .200, .198 and .198 dB loss
respectively per 100 feet.
So you may or may not be better off with RG11, and if you are better off
it will be .1 to .2 dB
Does anyone use RG11? I have never used it and is it harder to put
connectors on over RG6? Thanks.
