Helo,
I've taken apart a MT1000 antenna adapter to see how it is made and I am using some earphone adapters to make more. I need to get a foot or so of the coax that is used. Anyone know the spec/part number on this coax? It is around the thickness of a pencil lead.
Regards

It is probably rg-174. That is the best and most common 50 ohm
coax of that size. Fairly easy to get. Phrawg

OK, 174. I looked it up in Mouser and see it's around .110 inchs. That is a little bigger than the stuff in the antenna adapters, but most likely would be small and flexable enough.
Does anyone have a foot or so of this stuff that I can beg borrow or steal?
