]Hello,
] I'd like to have some good quality coaxial cable. Can you give
] me any suggestions if you know?
]
] I am making a project on global position system. Previously, I
]used
] a coaxial cable of 10 M to connect the antenna and the GPS
]together.
] It worked normally. However, when I change the cable to be 80 M
]in
] length, I can't get any signals. I suspect that the signal loss
]in
] such a long cable is very great. So I want to buy a cable of
] better quality to reduce the loss.
]
] Now, I am using a 50 ohm cable, RG-58 A/U!
] Thanks!

Frankie:
Use some Belden 9913 or equivalent. Buit remember it's not very flexuble.
I don'y use any RG-58 anymore except for a few jumpers around the shack.
As the need replacing, I'm converting to RG-223

I did not see any introduction to carefully read.
What I was hoping for was antenna locations. Are these available in the
database?

It's a professionally produced show that sounds much like National Public
Radio's All Things Considered. Yes, it's actually sound files that are
designed to be downloaded into your computer and played through the speaker..
you don't read it, you listen to it.
I believe it's more oriented towards technology discussions, but I understand
they're going to break that mold in time. They distribute the sound files
uncompressed, so they're huge. But, in today's market of below a buck a
megabyte hard drives, space isn't so much of a consideration.
Poke around in alt.internet.talk-radio or something similar to that. They
seem pretty interesting (I've read enough about them..) but never sat down,
downloaded a show and played it. Sure made me think about Inet distributed
sound materials, though.

Well I've tried just about everything I can think of...I'm attempting to
use the PK-232 with my TS-850.....problem is an awfull lot of rf getting
back into the Kenwood. I've tried shielded cable, additional grounding
straps between both units, shorter lengths of cable - no luck. Anyone
have a clue as to how to eliminate the unwanted rf? Seems I might of saw
a posting here addressing this very problem but not sure. Thanks in
advance for any replies, 73...Roger/N5IFH.
