Q I only needed 9 feet of coax to go from my radio to my antenna. How should I handle the excess?
Frequently Asked QuestionsA What ever you do, do not roll it into a small convenient coil. It will become an RF choke. If you cannot let it lie loose under a seat or in a headliner, wrap it into a yarn-like skein of about 12 to 16 inches, put a wire tie in the center and tuck it under your dash, seat, etc. A Absolutely! High SWR will limits distance and may cause serious damage to your transmitter. The time spent tuning your antenna is time well spent. Don't take the chance.
Related QuestionsWhat is coax?
F.A.Q.'s - faq - Frequently Asked QuestionsCoax is a standard cable that connects your tv and or cable modem to your wall outlet. Generaly the wiring for tv/broadband is done in coax cabeling called RG-6. The cable has a copper core surounded by a plastic sheathing, this is surounded by a braided outer cover of woven mesh wire and in turn is covered by an outer sheath. First, you need to provision your account (additional $5 per/mo.) for two computers. Contact HarborNet for this. Or you can purchase a small office router.
Related QuestionsWhat do I do about my radio antenna?
Vehicle Bags - Car storage solutions for garage storage of c...If the antenna will collapse, lower it as much as possible. If it is easily removed, take if off. As long as it will lower to near the level of the roof and is near the front or back window it will be OK. A large plastic test tube is supplied to go over the antenna to provide a larger surface area so it is not as likely to puncture the material.
Related QuestionsCan I use my own coax to connect the antenna to my computer?
Welcome to FireServeGenerally, no. Because of the high frequencies involved, special coax suitable for microwave use is required to keep the losses low. Several people have asked if they can substitute RG-58, RG-8 or RG-214. These coax types have unacceptably high losses at these frequencies. People occasionally ask about 75 ohm TV/satellite coax as well (RG-62), which is a definite no-go because of the incorrect impedance. Belden 9913 is questionable because of "water piping" problems.
Related QuestionsQ Is the length of the coax cable important?
Frequently Asked QuestionsA We find that it is very important ... especially with high performance top-loaded antennas. Your safest bet is to use 18 feet (5.5 meters) coaxial leads on all of your CB installations.
Related QuestionsQ : Is a special antenna needed to listen to shortwave?

Related QuestionsQ 9. Why do we observe only the breath?
Questions on AnapanaAns. Because it will eventually pave the way for Vipassana. Breath is a true fact. It is the truth that is closely associated not only with our body but also with our mind. Like a scientist, we have to diligently discover the truth about ourselves, our body and mind. Moreover, this knowledge should be based at the experiential level and not on what we are told or study in books, etc. We have started this practice of observing the breath, so that we can learn the truth about ourselves.
Related QuestionsIf I purchase the RCA 3900 Antenna do I have to run another coax?

Related QuestionsWhat type of coax is used with Listen products and how far can I remote the antenna?
Listen Technologies - LP-1 System PackageListen's LT-800 uses a reverse BNC connector (this is required by the FCC). This connector is not readily available. You have two options: 1) cut the cable that comes with a Listen antenna and extend it or 2) order an antenna with extended cable (use part number LA-112). We recommend that you not remote the antenna over 100 feet at 72MHz and 50 feet at 216MHz and use low loss 50 ohm coax.
Related QuestionsWhat is the best radio / antenna to get distant OTR stations?
The Official Old-Time Radio (OTR) FAQSeveral readers have been acclaiming the GE SuperRadio III as an excellent choice for picking up distant AM stations that carry OTR programming. Although the tuning dial has notoriously poor calibration, the sensitivity and selectivity seem superior to other radios. Some readers have had good success with the Select-A-Tenna antenna advertised in several magazines, and the Grove Catalog. The S-A-T seems to be rather directional, and may eliminate off-axis interference.

Related QuestionsOur location needs an antenna cable longer than 50 feet. Can we extend the antenna?
Airchitex Cuckoo ProductAirchitex does not provide GPS antenna extenders, although you can provide one of your own. The extra cable and connectors will introduce some amount of signal loss. The GPS receiver expects between 15dB and 30dB of signal gain, and the marine mount antenna under optimal conditions has a gain of roughly 40dB. To reduce the signal attenuation as much as possible, use high quality cable and connectors (SMA male one one end, SMA female on the other).

Related QuestionsQ How important is it to have the antenna mount grounded to the vehicle?
Frequently Asked QuestionsA Unless you are using a no-ground plane system, it is extremely important. Ungrounded mounts will usually cause SWR to be high across all channels. A No! We already took care of that with the design. The NGP systems will operate the same regardless of whether or not the mount is grounded. A Every antenna design has a different angle of radiation and it stays pretty constant unless the antenna is moved. What keeps changing is the ionosphere height.
