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.
