2007年8月13日 · RG-6 has much less loss than RG-58, and less loss than even RG-8. I would never use RG-58 for a base scanner installation unless the total run was less than ten feet or so. trooperdude

2006年1月10日 · He was referencing RG-8X (mini foam). This is a smaller version of RG-8, but still has a little bit less loss than rg-58. dsmall, If you are doing a mobile install, your better bet would be the mini foam, but at these lengths (maybe 10-15') it will certainly not make a very noticeable difference.

2010年3月28日 · In the Belden catalog, RG-58/U has a solid center conductor while RG-58C/U has a stranded center conductor. The solid center conductor type will have less loss at 400 MHz, but both are pretty bad. I would not use either one for a cable more than about 20 feet long.

2011年7月19日 · Based on this (Welcome to Times Microwave | Coaxial Cable - Attenuation & Power Handling Calculator) RG-58 will give you 11.3 dB of loss over your 78 feet (numbers based on a 900 MHz signal, good round # for 800 MHz band receiption) while RG-8X will give you 9.5 dB of loss (went from really bad to just pretty bad).

2023年12月31日 · RG-58 will be marginally better compared to the RG-174, as the RG-58 has less loss. However, don't expect a huge difference. If you cannot pick up the agency at all right now, changing to RG-58 probably isn't going to make it magically appear.

2021年2月21日 · Assuming you mean RG58 vs RG58U, the answer is that RG58 has a solid center conductor, and RG58U has a stranded center conductor. 58 for permanent installs where the cable won't be subjected to repeated flexing, and 58U for installs that need more flexibility, tighter bend radius, etc. such as mobiles or temporary connections.

2007年12月27日 · I think you are a little confused with the terminology. RG-58 is a cable - not a connector. The UG designators are for reducer adapters so PL-259 connectors can be used on various size cables - see below: Reducer Cable Type UG-174/U RG-174,316 UG-175/U RG-58,55,141,142 UG-176/U RG-59,8x,62,71,LMR-240

2012年6月1日 · RG-58/U and RG-58A/U are the same cable, the only difference is in the centre conductor. RG-58/U has a solid core and RG-58 A/U has a stranded core. BNC connectors should never be installed on RG-58 A/U as a single strand of wire from that centre conductor will cause a change of impedance or dead short in your coax resulting in attenuation of ...

2020年6月24日 · Get rid of the RG-58 Go to the hardware store and get enough RG-6 to go from the antenna to the radio. Sounds like you already have the compression type F connectors and tool, so make sure you have the right ones for the RG-6, if not, buy a couple. Last time I was in Home Depot, they also had RG-6 BNC compression connectors. But a few of those ...

2008年6月25日 · This is something that is insignificant for solder and crimp type PL-259 connectors, however the larger center conductor (LMR-200 is .044", LMR-195 is .037") makes it difficult to attach the center pins for RG-58 type SMA connectors. Specifically, this means the gold plated crimp/solder type sold at RS (With a teflon dielectric, amazingly enough!
