The additional loss due to a 2:1 mismatch is almost negligible (a few tenths of a dB). 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Tow

Yes, BUT -- coax loss on RX only matters if the limitation is noise in your receiver. That is VERY RARE on the HF bands, where the major limitation is either QRM or noise picked up on the antenna. In

New connectors for 7/8" as well as LMR 1200 are expensive. Why pay good money for them. As has been mentioned before on this list, it's pretty easy to make your own from copper reducers and hose clam

Feed line is the last place you want to save money. I'd go with the hardline and flex up the tower also. _______________________________________________ ______________________________________________

For a long run, if you wanted to save some money, and you could put up with the other inconviences, and if you could find good 9:1 baluns, you might consider 450 Ohm twin lead. Gene / W2LU -- Origina

I concur. I put all of my remote switches at the base of the tower and run separate feedlines to each antenna. It's so much easier to work on. John KK9A My choice is at least 7/8 heliax and some lmr6

I think that this is band dependant. If you're operating 20m during a contest, QRM is much more of a factor in hearing a station than the received signal strength. Your antenna will still have the sa

The kicker is... if you have say 3 db of loss back to the station, then you need an extra 3db of drive power. You also LOSE 3 db on RX ! You also require a LONG run of 240 vac line, to base of tower,

Or a run of the mill 240VAC line and a boost/buck transformer to make up the voltage drop at the load end. There are other reasons why one might want a back to back transformer approach (galvanic iso

Nope..it's exactly the same. You can even BUY double 75 ohm coax fairly inexpensively (although probably not as cheap as 2 single strands) _______________________________________________ ____________

And the matched loss per unit length of the resulting 150 Ohm twin will also be exactly the same as the 75 Ohm coax. Steve G3TXQ _______________________________________________ ______________________
