Default coax for 900mhz?

thanks guys for your input! ok, forget about thin and supple. i need 50
ohm impedance coax at 900mhz into a uniden scanner(bnc connector) with a
15 foot run. what coax of any size is commonly available that would be
suitable?


Hi Jim

I wonder why you would not use the RG-6 as suggested by Dave Oldridge.
Even Home Depot has the cable and the BNCs for it.
RG-6 is good transmission line at 900 MHz.

I submit that nothing in the system from the antenna all the way to the
receiver will be 50 ohms, no matter what transmission line you choose.
