Mike:
[snip] "WB3FUP (Mike Hall)" wrote in message ... If you want 600 ohm I think you will have to roll your own. I use commercial 450 ohm line myself. There will be a balun in your tuner (if it will directly feed ladder line) so why not just run the wire to the tuner, and not bother with coax at all. -- 73 es cul wb3fup a Salty Bear [snip] Many want to use a few feet of coax in tandem with parallel wire [open wire 600 Ohm or 450 Ohm window line] just to pass the transmission line "through the wall". If passing the line through the wall is the problem then just use a foot or so of electrical mains "zip cord" for that short passage. Simply solder a short piece of zip cord into the 450 Ohm window line at the appropriate place to allow the line to pass through a small 1/4 - 1/2 inch hole in the wall. The "impedance bump" caused by the short hunk of zip cord will never be noticed throughout the MF/HF bands. -- Peter K1PO Indialantic By-the-Sea, FL |
