Mon Nov 24 03:18:00 UTC 2008

RG58 is used for FM. May I publicise the availability of this cable to community radio working groups?

hallo marco,

sorry, RG58-cable is not appropriate for use  at  2,4 GHz or higher,
because it has relative high loss of 84.6dB per 100m.
that says -for example- after 3m legth of cable,
comes out only half of the power you put in it  :-(
(besides the allways existing losses of connectors,
and the `art` how these fittings are soldered...)

i suggest, for these reasons,
it wouldn`t be worth the orga and transport
because disapointing results with RG58.

better look for "low loss" cables!
