Re: Can I use a coax from tuner to whip?

As with any antenna, Just try it. Let us know what happens. Oh, use
low power to start.

Hey all,

I sold my truck with the 102 inch whip....I had the fc-40 about 3
inchis away from the inside lug of the ball mount so it was perfect
for 10 gauge wire from the fc-40 lugs to the ant.

Now I cannot drill into my (new) Olds Bravada, so I need to figure
another way.

Can I cut off the end of a 15ft coax, wire it to the tuner and
connect the other end to a pl259 mount for the whip, off the bumper
sor something?

Didn't think I could use a coax.

Also, what if I used a 4:1 balun in reverse to accept the wires
from
the tuner and adapt them to the coax to make the run over to the
whip?

Can a balun be used in reverse? Could use it in my shack to attach
attick mounted slinky to the tuner.
