Help ALL:

I've misplaced my Collins manual which spells out and answers my question.
So, I need everyone's help!

Q: What is the Collins Radio recommended length of coax between the output
of the exciter to the input of the Collins 30l-1.

Please reply direct(off the reflector) to me: Leewical@aol.com
