had a situation last year wehre a frined needed her antenna
wired up but the ony route would require the use of a pre-existing
hole in the stone wall of the house. RG174 worked GREAT!

Terry when I saw the pictures and read the "destructiosn" to make a BNC
to RG 174 was when I DECIDED to BUY the flamin thing...I dont need grief
AND AGGRAVATION FROM CABLES.

SKYCRAFT here in orlando saved my butt as they had them in six foot
lengths for a buck a foot...it wasnt RG 174...some thicker black
RG-6-like "war"

it works fine conveying signal from my new North County Active antenna
to my ATS 909

Thanks for the URL

RG-174 is the smallest, most flexible 50 Ohm coax I have found.
somehwre I have the RG number for mini 75 Ohm coax. While
our radio don't really care, video is much less forgiving and
mini coax is really nice for snaking a short discrete video run.

I gave up on soldering RG174 connectors and use "crimp on"
connectors. The connectors are reasonable in cost, but a
good crimp tool is priced like it is made from gold!

Glad you found some coax that would work..

My "go kit" has a ATS-909 with 25' of RG-174 coupled to a 9:1
in a sturdy UV resistant plastic box with stainless steel nuts/bolts
to allow the rapid deployment of an antenna. I replaced the stock
narrow ceramic IF fitler with one from a CB and it really helps
in crudy conditions. You mentioned the need to build an external
power pack, I have built a 5 "C" cell holder for NiMH that power the
ATS909/DX398 for several long nights of listening. I also have a
LM317 +~12V to 6V converter to allow opertion from a car battery.
Just take care to keep the shell isolated from ground, it is +!
I get more run time by grounding the - to the RF outer shell, bypassing
the series protection diode. Take great care!
