Subject: | Re: RG400 Splice |
> I may have a need to lengthen two of the four antenna cables to my Ryan TCAD9900B
by approximately 6. Short of fabricating an extension with connectors on
each end, would it be preferable to splice directly to the existing cables? N4ZQ
I'd follow Bill's suggestions, but if it absolutely has to be lengthened there
are connectors to do it properly. There are good You Tube videos online regarding
this.
But whatever you do, remember that the RF signal is carried in the insulation,
NOT the center conductor nor the shield! This makes all other joining schemes
problematic.
See my attached "Dabbling with Electricity" for this and other matters.
