Default type/length of wire and connectors for external antenna?



-*Terminate the random wire away from the
- electrical noise near the receiver by using
- co-ax and the balun.

Generally a Balun works best along with a
good earthen Ground {connection}.

Dave and RHF, thanks. I'll read up on the balun. What is the purpose
of impedence (or RF?) matching between random wire and coax?

Thanks,
Jim
