Hi,

Just a bit of a followup from my previous post.
Am in my 70's now, and not too sharp with this stuff anymore.
But, I really enjoy sw listening.

Doing some re-plumbing.

The suggestion was made that the common RG-6 that is everywhere would do
me just fine, as I'm talking about about 3 foot patch cord lengths.

Listening only; mainly the scanner vhf/uhf frequencies.
And possibly on occasion up to about 1.5 GHz, at most.

Everyone has them,from Wal-Mart on up

The RCA branded cables seem to be most popular.

Probably a very cheap implementation.

Think this would do me O.K. as the lengths are only 3 feet, and
listening only ?
Or, too cheaply made probably, and I should try to find somewhere a
better quality ?

They all use these F connectors.
Guess I'm old fashioned, but they "scare" me a little not having a
"real" center pin.

Any reluctance to using them ?

Thanks again,
Bob
