Some wiring details


 

HI All,

Been putting my BITX into an enclosure of sorts, really just a piece of plywood with two aluminum ends to mount the display, controls, etc. I wanted to leave it all accessible for tinkering but not have it spaghetti'd across the bench. I replace the RF out wires to the BNC with RG-174 coas and was wondering: Should I replace the VFO wires and audio in and out with the same? Or are just plain wires ok?

Thanks!

I vote for using the RG-174...it just makes sense if you have a short length laying around.

Thanks Jack! I did so, looks good. Seems a wise precaution.
