A thread that will never die

Yeah! What he said. Got it. LMAO

 

RadioMods coax length page


Im gonna add a lil tid bit i found to the "NEVER ENDING THREAD" thread..lol

 

Using the formula in your link in re to my LMR-240UF coax and my 'home' frequency of 27.185 MHz, I came up with a desired cable length of 15.202 feet. I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to cut my current 18' length of LMR-240UF down to 15.2'

 

there was so much crap in that link my toilet overflowed.

 

Was that with or w/o a seperate swr meter installed? I ran through it briefly and saw that there would be a diff...You have marks 955 right? If so he tunes @ 14.4 v and his bench is set up so that 15'2" is the req length to equal his bench..
What the diff is i couldnt say but if the link i posted is correct im sure it would be a suttle diff....Worth cutting coax i cant say..
I was give basically same math before to..
300/freq =then divide that by 2 and x the coax vf...Answer is in meters so multiply the answer by 3.37 to get the footage vs meters..

 

I guess I'll stick to the 18' I have now.

I have a non-Mark 655, an Anytone At6666 and an export Northpoint.

I didnt have anything hooked up. I just worked the formula in your link Craig and got 15.2'. The metric formula in your post yielded 15.4', so they almost agree

 

I haven't run a CB since 2006.

Saved me a lot of time and trouble. Lol

 

Lol the only time 2" makes a diff depends if the wife/gf stays or leaves..lol

 

Ha ha. Now that was “too funny”. Good thing I wasn’t still drinking my Dr Pepper when I read that.

 

And lots of $$$$’s too. Lol.
