- ]Hello,
-
- ] I'd like to have some good quality coaxial cable. Can you give
- ] me any suggestions if you know?
- ]
- ] I am making a project on global position system. Previously, I
- ]used
- ] a coaxial cable of 10 M to connect the antenna and the GPS
- ]together.
- ] It worked normally. However, when I change the cable to be 80 M
- ]in
- ] length, I can't get any signals. I suspect that the signal loss
- ]in
- ] such a long cable is very great. So I want to buy a cable of
- ] better quality to reduce the loss.
- ]
- ] Now, I am using a 50 ohm cable, RG-58 A/U!
-
- ] Thanks!

- Frankie:
-
- Use some Belden 9913 or equivalent. Buit remember it's not very flexuble.
-
- I don'y use any RG-58 anymore except for a few jumpers around the shack.
- As the need replacing, I'm converting to RG-223

- I did not see any introduction to carefully read.
-
- What I was hoping for was antenna locations. Are these available in the
- database?

- |> Having heard from one of my friend about the ITR, Internet Talk Radio.
- |> Wonder what they were? Can anyone give me a light on this?
-
- It's a professionally produced show that sounds much like National Public
- Radio's All Things Considered. Yes, it's actually sound files that are
- designed to be downloaded into your computer and played through the speaker..
- you don't read it, you listen to it.
-
- I believe it's more oriented towards technology discussions, but I understand
- they're going to break that mold in time. They distribute the sound files
- uncompressed, so they're huge. But, in today's market of below a buck a
- megabyte hard drives, space isn't so much of a consideration.
-
- Poke around in alt.internet.talk-radio or something similar to that. They
- seem pretty interesting (I've read enough about them..) but never sat down,
- downloaded a show and played it. Sure made me think about Inet distributed
- sound materials, though.

- Well I've tried just about everything I can think of...I'm attempting to
- use the PK-232 with my TS-850.....problem is an awfull lot of rf getting
- back into the Kenwood. I've tried shielded cable, additional grounding
- straps between both units, shorter lengths of cable - no luck. Anyone
- have a clue as to how to eliminate the unwanted rf? Seems I might of saw
- a posting here addressing this very problem but not sure. Thanks in
- advance for any replies, 73...Roger/N5IFH.
