I have 2 Coax cables that are running to the cb an 18 ft and a 9 foot. I need the two cables b/c of the fitting on their ends, but my question is this.
I want to cut the extra few feet of cable off each end of the cables. Is it acceptable to just buy a male coax head from radioshack and crimp it on the cut end? Will it affect my transmission?
Also, I've heard that the coax should always be in 3ft incriments b/c of how the waves travel. is this true? or can I just cut the wire down without being exact?
Thanks in advance,
Sam
