  • Page 16: Coaxial Cable

    2.3.3 Coaxial Cable VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable - a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG213 should be used.
