Hi All, 

  

What is the ‘best’ way to connect to a marker beacon antenna’s Rg400 coax cable, Meaning I need to tie it to regular wire coming out of the audio pnl with the receiver. 

  

Should I just solder and heat shrink to the rg400 ? 

or wire the regular wire to a bnc connector ? 

or some other type of connector set up to do this ? 

  

Thanks 

Jeff

Solder a wire to the center conductor, then put heatshrink over it. For the outer shield, use a simple Solder Sleeve with a lead on it. Put heatshrink over the entire thing, no you have a nice termination from Coax to two small AWG22 wires that will work in the audio connector, but put the pigtail a few inches back (where it’s easy to work with).

 

Cheers,

 

Stein

For the marker beacon, you could use a wet noodle and it would still work.
