Default Cobwebb feeder question

The reason for wanting to know the above is, I want to use RG58 inside the
box and then run RG213 up to the box for the feeder from the radio. I don't
want to do this if the S0239 socket is going to allow the feed line to
radiate. Can any one please advise?

Many thanks

I have some questions about the choke and feed line on the Cobwebb.



Does the co-axial choke balun work better if the cable is wound on top of
each other into a tube shape rather than just winding it round and zip
tying it together in a round bundle?



Can I attach a SO239 Chassis socket to the end of the box where the coax
enters and then plug a PL259 into that for the feeder or will the socket
allow current to bypass the choke balun and enter the feed line?



Thanks
