I've pretty much decided on RG-6 for a couple of 150 ft. runs because the stuff's dirt cheap and I can pick it up at the local Home Depot. Is the impedance mismatch here going to be negligible, or should I just bite the bullet and go with RG-8 or a similar 50 ohm coax? I would not buy cable with the wrong impedance especially on the Wellbrook because I don't know how well the amplifier at the head end stands up to reflections. Some amplifiers become less stable into a load other than what it was designed for. Why don't you fire off that question to them. On the wire antennas you will take a hit on performance depending on frequency unless you use transformers on both ends. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
