2.3.3 Coaxial Cable
VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable - a shielded
transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction. For runs less
than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet
but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG213
should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure
below. Figure 2.4.0 Installing the VHF antenna To get your coax cable through a fitting and
into your boat's interior, you may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can
do this if you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make good
soldered connections.
