I hope all the geek chatter hasn't created a sense of urgency! There's no rush; take your time... ;-} Eric P.S. Alec and I have begun direct email comms to avoid spamming the List with endless back-and-forth about PCB layout and PIC programming. I promise no functional or interface changes without consultation here.

Bob said: Hmmmm . . . Paul and I are putting the final touches on the OBAM aircraft friendly data logger I mentioned a few days ago. Maybe you could be the 'beta test' project. I was thinking maybe a four channel "Hobo". Btw,: I get the digest version of the forum so I can not look at attachments... Nonetheless, I'm available to alpha or beta a new logger. I hadn't been following that thread so I'll have to go back and read the background. Consider me an experienced tester as I've done lots of development and have a lab etc..

I wanted to fire up the EFIS and check it out anyway. :) -------- Airdog Wade Parton Building Long-EZ N916WP www.longezpush.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=474003#474003 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:58:54 PM PST US From: James Baldwin <1james.baldwin@gmail.com> Subject: AeroElectric-List: ADS-B Antennae I am hooking up my Grand Rapids Technology ADS-B hardware and two of the connections are coax. I asked and they said either RG58 or RG400 works. 1. Should I use one or the other for some reason? 2. I can't thread a completed coax where it goes with connectors so I need to fasten or crimp them on afterwards. Anyone using a tool available at Lowe's or HD or Fry's or ...? 3. I went to Lowe's and didn't see any RG58 wire or connectors. I saw they had RG59 whatever that is. I did see RG58 A/U at Aircraft Spruce. Hints appreciated. Thank you.

If your run is about 6 ft or less, you can use RG58 of the stranded wire center conductor variety. I suggest RG-400 for your transponder/ADS-B Out transmitter. RG-58 will do the job for the ADS-B In receiver, as well as for your com radio(s). RG-58 and RG-400 are 50 ohm impedance, which you want. RG-59 is 75 ohm impedance and usually solid core center conductor.

RG400 is higher spec 50 ohm coax. RG58 is the more common. For short runs, RG58 is normally adequate.
