Does anyone know how much loss there is when you use a coax barrel connector on 11 meter frequency? |

Almost immeasurable.
The total loss in 2 male connectors and a barrel is maybe 0.5 dB or so.
Where you get measurable loss is when the connectors are not installed properly.

Thank you my friend 833. It had been a while. I am going to use the CA 600 to run to my 2 meter 70cm beam antenna. Of course I can't use the 600 connected to the beam so I have to use a short piece of cable that will flex to rotate the beam. Reason for beam is I am a long way from some repeater's and mountain's are blocking me from other's. I have it up temp and it really help's. |
