KR>Coaxial cable

[wa7...@aol.com]

The thing you want to avoid with coax is leakage along the length of the 
cable. The longer the cable, better the shielding must be. On VHF and UHF the 
loss 
can be very high. When going from a transceiver across the back yard and up a 
tower, Hard-line is required costing dollars per foot. With the short runs we 
use in an aircraft the loss would not be enough to worry about.  The Radio 
Shack stuff works for me.  Lynn
