Hello all,
I have two basic electrical questions about my bird.
1) I have a handheld radio due to transmit problems I was having. There is a junction in the co-axial cable running from the radio to the antennae. Can I install a bnc tee junction (does such a beast exist) and use both the panel mount radio and portable off the same antennae?
2) the transmit issue was caused by a broken wire on the ptt. The wire to the ptt is two strand with shielding. The wire is so short that it would be easiest to add small extensions to each strand up to the button. Does the signal transmitted to and from the ptt really need to be shielded? Could I run unshielded one inch extensions?
Thanks in advance for the help.
