You're losses on various bands may be pretty high with coax. That's why most all-banders are fed with ladderline. Losses are lower. But that's your choice. Owen has a feedline loss calculator at: http://www.vk1od.net/tl/tllce.php EZNEC (including the free demo version at www.eznec.com) can be used to estimate the SWR to plug into the calculator. For instance, 100 feet of RG-58a used on 14 MHz with an average SWR of 5:1, loses ~4.7 dB, or ~66%. To get the same loss with Wireman #554 ladder-line, the average SWR could be allowed to equal 53:1. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
