5.3 COAXIAL CABLE
VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable –
a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and
construction.
For runs less than 6 m, RG-58/U, about 6 mm in diameter is a good choice.
For runs over 6 m but less than 15 m, the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be
used for cable runs over 15 m RG-8X should be used. For installation of the
connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below.
To get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you
may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if
you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make
good soldered connections.
