Additional note: All of the patch cables I use on C Line twins are made of this cable and operation has been great. Have made over 5000 SKCC QSOs in the past two years with this gear along with plenty of DX so this coax does the job.

?RG-174 is 1/8 inch diameter, very flexible, easy to install onto phono plug, and capacitance is 30.8 pf per foot according to Belden spec sheet.

?Reading the article we need something that is flexible and low in capacitance and try for a total of 60pf in the cable. Here is something that might work quite well.
I needed to convert the 54nf/km spec to 16.45pf/ft so this looks promising. It's made for mobile television broadcast use at 4k 12G (12 gigabit) SDI video speeds.

Dear Drake fans,
When connecting my R-4C to my T-4XC and using the receiver¡¯s PTO (T-4XC¡¯s TRANSCEIVE switch to RCVR), I only get a marginal power output.
For the INJ cable (and the CAR INJ cable) ¡®Low Capacity¡¯ cables have to be used. I made these cables myself using RG58, but am now in doubt if this is equivalent to the required ¡®Low Capacity¡¯ cables. Any experience with this? Would that be the cause of the low power output?
