Jim Weir VOR Splitter Coax Cable Question

[JimZap]

Hi everyone, I'm building a VOR splitter described in Kitplanes Aero 'lectric Article from Nov 2019. (I'm hoping Jim still monitors this platform)

The Article dictates 70-ohm coax in the construction and mentions RG-179 or Belden 9221 as a reference, but these two are 75-ohm coax.

I just wanted to confirm the 75-ohm coax cable is OK to use for the splitter. I have some RG-174, 50-ohm coax, but I gather from your article that won't work. I'm having trouble actually finding 70-ohm coax.

Thanks in advance.

James

Unfortunately he isn’t. Another valuable contributor that got axed some years back.
