Force 12 recommends using a minimum of 100 feet of coax for their C4SXL feed lines. I just moved my shack to the second floor and now have over 30 feet each of both of the feed lines. Has anybody use

I'm surprised Force 12 doesn't recommend you just replace their antenna with a dummy load. BW will be improved still further and cost will be kept to a minimum, although gain and F/B might suffer a t

Shorter coax means less LOSS. Less loss means higher Q. Higher Q means less Bandwidth. No big deal. Use a tuner if your solid state radio doesn't like the SWR. Any Pi-Network in tube type amplifiers

So how much coax would you suggest they use to specify the SWR at the transmitter? Don't tell me ZERO. I don't know anyone who places their radio on top of their tower. Tom N4KG _____________________

Yes I would... if I were specifying bandwidth, since there is obviously no such thing as a "standard" length of cable. Why 100', why not 200', or 300' which I use, not to mention different transmissi

IMO, it's reasonable to specify the overall "system" SWR. And since the cable, after all, cannot be zero length, they have to pick something. A length of 100 feet seems completely realistic. Many fol

The fact is, DON'T worry about it. 2:1 SWR is not a magical number. It's a typical industry standard but when a person gets over the fact that it's not a big deal then you can move on and enjoy the a
