-> TW> BAD idea. RG-58 is totaly UN-suitable. As I recall he was talking -> TW> maybe a 50 Foot cable run! Look up the Cable loss you have to live -> TW> with at those frequencies. -> What cable is suitable? -> I thought maybe there was some verion of low loss RG58 like the low-loss -> RG6 they use for digital television and satellite antennas. Not that I recall. But the old brain is a bit fuzzy. I will make a few Interent searches. Incidently RG-58 has a loss of 32.2 Db at 2.4 GHz per 100 Feet. Factoring the rough rule of thumb of 33% loss for each 3 Db you can see that very little would come out the other end. Even bringing the cable run to 25 Feet is still a good hit. And before some jumps in and says 10 hits of 33% would be less then nothing it works this way. In the example of the RG-58 losses you have the equilivent of 10 33% hits effectively. The first takes a 33% hit on the signal, The second 33% of what is left, The third 33% of what was left after the second and so on. Of course this is a very Untechnical explination, mostly becaue nowdays I don't bother with the Nity Grity and deal in Generalities. I will leave it to the Younger Kids to Argue the "Fine Points" :-) :-) but you can get the Idea. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5* Origin: Shakey Jake's *ALL FREE BBS* Santee, CA (1:202/1324) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 202/1324 10/3 106/2000 633/267 |
