I was wondering how long you can run coax between a modern transceiver and the amplifier? And I have two cases: 1 HF 2 6 meters Since my ham desk is in the middle of the room so I can have access to
Steven, In my opinion: if the input impedance off the amplifier matches the output impedance of the driver and the coax has excellent shielding, there will be no problems with any length. When I say
As long as there is sufficient drive available even a modest loss in the coax wont hurt. In fact it is a good thing with some amps as it will flatten out the input VSWR. Carl KM1H ___________________
Except on receive, if the preamp is at the RX. If the preamp is between the antenna and the power amp, I agree that loss between the transmitter and the power amp doesn't matter. Shielding should not
Very true but adding 3dB or so of attenuation to most riceboxes wont affect on the air receiver performance where external noise predominates. Carl KM1H ______________________________________________
What? You mean all that work I put into 75 and 40 won't help? The background is finally down to about S2 or 3. <:-)) Only 2 1/2 more S units to go. Of course if you operate AU on 6 it makes the diffe
