 |
|
Hi Bob,
I've been working on getting my 1983 Long-EZ back to flying condition. It has RG-58 coax and BNC's with a soldered center conductor and the screw together compression fitting for the exterior shielding. There are also splices done with BNC's to change radios over the years. There have been issues with the transponder and the com transmitter (copper foil antenna in the winglet) over the years. Is it worth while from a performance perspective to swap out the RG-58 and replace it with RG-400 and new crimp connectors? If this is worth doing, how do I deal with the coax coming out of the BNC's on the radio trays? Can the RG-400 be spliced to the RG-59 just beyond the the tray BNC's?
