Locked SMA Coax Extension Cable For YouLoop ?


 

Hello,

Have just received my YouLoop loop antenna.

It looks like I will need a coax extension of about ?35 feet to hook it up from where I have space for it to my receiver ?(SDRPlay RSPdx)????

Think it’s too long a distance ? ?Implications ??(for <30 MHz am listening)

Looks like I require a SMA M on one end and a SMA F on the other.

Amazed at the prices for these extension cables on Amazon, so I imagine, as usual,
that?I am missing "something".

What kind of coax, etc. should I limit my search to ?

They had one, but a Poster said it was "micro" cable so avoid".???
What is micro" coax " ?Any good ?

If someone might pick something out that isn't too expensive

(perhaps < $ 20) for 35 feet or so, would be most appreciative.

Or, what should I be looking for, and, more important probably, what should I avoid ?

Here's one from Amazon below; a bit long at 50 feet though:
Any thoughts on it ???I am very weak on ant. Theory, etc.

Much thanks,?????Bob

Hi

Quick Answer?
In the Web articles, it is the claim that the single best effective Mod is to use the best quality low noise Coax.?
I would add to use Ferrite Common Mode Chokes.?
I will try to find the article
Also, try? Files in the io group MLA-30? ?

Thanx

Hi??
??
MLA 30 Review Video

My conclusion: You get a lot of performance for a little money. The MLA-30 works very well on the lower bands and in some cases is better than the 80M EFHW but it lacks on the higher bands. IMO, it makes a good receive only antenna if you are interested in the lower bands and a usable solution for the higher bands if you don't have space for a long length of wire in the air. The addition of a rotator would make this a great antenna for LW DX work.?

One option is to go here They make cables in any length you want and will attach any connectors you need as well. As to which cable is best, I am not sure.
