Thread: Join cut UHF antenna Cable?

This happened to mine, I crimped an BNC connector on each end and then joined them with a BNC barrel connector. Has worked perfectly for years!

Is it possible to create a joiner for the antenna cable or do I need to run it from the UHF radio again.

For clarification this is the cable that runs from the UHF radio to the UHF antenna.

Now for the best result, a new low loss cable is the way to go.

But I have joined cables with male / female BNC connectors, ( about 1dB loss at the joint ).

I hope that helps you.

I agree, and yes I have done both too.
