That is neet. Now I just got to figure a choke of RG8X at 146mhz to
keep the RF from comming back down the outside of the coax cable from
the J pole.
The VSWR is realy good at 1:1.1, and it talks realy well.

What about ferrite beads/chokes over the coax instead of the coil of
coax cable?


Hi Will

I have been using some affordable ferrites for "keeping the RF from the
outside of the coax" at about 2 meters. All my crude measurements indicate
that the Very affordable ferrite tubes from All Electronics
http://www.allelectronics.com/ work OK. I figured the tubes were intended
to keep RFI from conducting down the cables inside the *All ferrite tubes*,
so I tried them, and they work for me. They have some snap-on models that
might have an ID big enough to fit over your RG8X.
