Jason128 6 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Anyone know where I can get a 1m VHF extension cable. The only ones i can find are long, and i don't really want to buy crimpers to make one up? cheers Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kick Ass 47 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Pacific aerials will make you one up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,235 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hi Jason, you can buy plugs (jaycar have them) that dont need crimping, and make the cable yourself. Solder type are also available. Make certain to use quality, tinned co-ax, and be careful fitting the plugs. Poorly attached antenna plugs are a common cause of vhf issues.

Island Time 1,235 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Or I can make you one if you like. PM me if interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jason128 6 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Thanks IT. Decided to replace the antenna as well. Pacific aerials are making me one up with the longer required cable. no joins seems good to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Absolutely. Every join is at least potential losses. None is best. Any antenna cable over 10 years old should be replaced anyway, if you want the best service from your set Quote Link to post Share on other sites
