Title: external antenna
Post by: glideslope on February 03, 2010, 12:03:36 PM
Hi folks,

Have purchased a Radio Rama antenna for my RB, it will have 12 meters of RG58 cable,
is this too long with the potential cable lose in mind...?

thanks for any thoughts,

regards,

glideslope

Table

shows over 9db loss compared to 1.5 db if you use 12m of W103. Its probably worth getting the W103 before erecting your Rada-Rama.
