Hi all, I have a question regarding installing cable for VHF/UHF.
What I want to do is wire up my cabin in EN39 for coax and rotor control.
How I want to do it is run cables from the inside wall of the cabin through
the wall, into the porch, and through the outside porch wall. Then, connect my
cables on to those inside to the rig and outside to the antennas.
I have 1/2" heliax LDF4-50A. The cable runs will be under 150'. Will it be
OK to run that through the cabin as I described with N females on both ends?
Or will the attenuation through the connections not be worth it? What size
cable would you reccomend? What connector? Obviously if I go to something like
1-5/8" through the cabin and put an N connector on there then I am compressing
the energy through the cable to come out a small connector and into a decent
size cable on the other end.
Im no pro when it comes to these connections, but I want to have the least
attenuation I can get without having it be a pain in the butt and expensive.
