Hi there,
New member/newbie here. Great forum for info, but I can't seem to find an answer to my problem.
I have a RG213U cable coming into my home base unit (UBC360CLT) but it's a bit wieldy and not really flexible enough to fit into the small space that I have available on my desk.
I guess I need a short (1 metre or so) flexible lead to fit between the RG213U and unit. The plugs are BNC to BNC.
Are there any ready-made leads available on ebay etc that would do the job?
I hope I've explained that ok!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Al

One of these and any old 50ohm BNC patch lead should do the trick!

Thanks for that krOne. I've ordered that and a BNC patch lead.

No worries, hope you get it working! RG213 is wayyy to rigid to be bothered with at the back of your radio...
Generally speaking, the thinner the cable and the more connectors you have, the higher the loss but in reality the extra loss from a metre of RG58 and a couple of extra plugs is nothing when measured against the convenience of not having RG213 plugged directly into your radio!
