![]() Just curious... Seems to me I read somewhere that extra coax between antenna and radio should not be managed in a coil. Any truth to this? If so, what's the issue? I've got an attic antenna about 20 feet or so from an ICOM R8500 connected with 50 feet of RG6-U. This leaves about 30 I keep coiled and wire tied on the floor. The only issue is that if the diameter of the coil is too small the interconductor will cut through the insulation and short to the shield over a period of time. If you coil it with an inside diameter of a foot or more then you will be fine. |
