[MLB-WIRELESS] Antenna Co-ax

[darrend at ndpgroup.com.au]

For 15 metres, forget about thicknet.... it makes for a great dummy load at
2.4GHz
Grab some LMR400 or equivalent. Best bets are from Rojone or Xnet wireless

And yes, those RAAF radtechs don't know shit (trust me, I used to be one...
hehe)

I'm about to "go-live" and need to place my antenna approximately 15 metres
from my PC.

Can anyone tell me what the options are for co-ax, pros and cons for the
different varieties and a reasonable place to source cut lengths from, I
don't want to buy a 100 metre roll which is what the local wholesaler wants
me to do.


My only other alternative is to use a chink of leftover "thick Ethernet"
that I've recently pulled out of a building. A mate who used to be a radio
tech in the RAAF reckons that this would be perfect, but I'm not sure he
knows as much as he thinks he does.

Any advice please?



Cheers
