I have an open circuit in my coax feedline to the tribander--about 150 feet long. Looking for ways to tell where the open is. Coax is about 6 years old and looks and feels ok. Dennis, W1UF -- FAQ on

feet=20 years=20 -- Measure the capacitance at the input to the coax (make sure accessories = like SWR meters are disconnected) and then divide that figure by the = capacitance per foot of the coax.

Dennis, You can build a Time Domain Reflectometer that will work reasonably well if you also have access to an O-scope. I do not have the information with me here at work, but perhaps someone on the

you at Coax Many Oscilloscopes have a gating pulse available that you can use in lieu of building the squarewave generator. Look for a coax port on the side or back of the scope that is labeled as "

Hi Dennis, If the actual problem is not due to a failure (open) at either one connector or the other, I will be extremely surprised. In 36 years of this stuff, I have sure never seen a piece of RG-8

Use a TDR, time-domain reflectometer. There are very expensive, fancy ones, but you can build a simple one easily if you have a scope. This sends a pulse down the line which bounces off the open. Kno

Hi Fred! N-connectors are famous for retracting the center pin from either temperature extremes or mechanical stresses on the cable. That is unless you use connectors with CAPTIVATED center pins! The

This problem is not limited to N-connectors, nor to RG-213. But the "old" style N-connectors are very susceptible to this problem in even short runs. The captivated contact N-connector--the UG-1185

As a previous dealer for a broad range of connector mfgr's and types, I have experience with the problem you have described about the type N connector center pins decoupling. The problem is the expan

Two questions: Was the RG213 inner stretched before the connector was installed, or maybe was the outer compressed? Over time, it would remember its original configuration and the inner would pull ba

Correct, Chuck - however, I think most of the center conductor retraction is caused when the insulation is removed from the center conductor. (On standard coax - not Heliax, etc.) The newer versions
