  1. The 50-3 Pure Copper Coaxial Extender Cable says it's "

    • It is extendable that boosts the signal of your repeater significantly
    • Super Gainer Low Loss Coaxial Cable
    • Suitable for Retevis RT97 repeater
    • Material: pure copper
    • Impedance: 50Ω
    • Return loss: VHF≥20dB  UHF≥15dB
    • Connector plug: SL16
    • Cable diameter: 5mm / 0.2inch
    • Cable Length: 15 meter
    • Weight: 660g"

    So Is this good or true? Or should I go and spend more cash and get the Browning BR-400 Low Loss RF Coax Cable?

  2. Correct I got it as a package deal with the antenna, mic & cable. I can get about 1 1/2 miles west of me though the old oak woods & about 3 miles east though the pastures. So you guys think I need a better cable.? My antenna is a

    Well, I'm not close but there are several things you can do to check the repeater output yourself. The first thing is to check the power to the antenna with a power meter and dummy load. You need to put the power meter and dummy load at both the repeater output port and, at the end of the coax feeding your antenna to compare. The second is to inspect the antenna and verify its suitability for the channel. This is best accomplished with a nano VNA as UHF antenna analyzers are expensive. Thirdly, how is the antenna mounted? What's the HAAT? That's Height Above Average Terrain. For UHF average terrain will include buildings and trees as well as hills as they all affect the radiation patterns and distance. Once you have done those checks you'll be ready for some "drive tests" to determine both handheld and mobile coverage areas.

    I don't have any of that stuff. 30' tower with MA09 High Gain 462~467MHz GMRS Omni-Directional Base Antenna & 50-3 Pure Copper Coaxial Extender Cable For RT97L.

  5. My repeater is not open. It is only used for my ranch & range. I have gave permission only to a few other ranchers near me and the owners of leased land for the cattle. Every time the range is hot the range officer broadcast that. When it is cold too. It's a safety thing.
