[Antennas] 8 core cable?

Mon, 14 Oct 2002 16:19:09 -0500

Tom:  Just about any well made 8 wire cable should work.  Just remember
that one of the pairs should be at least #18 wire or bigger with the
rest #22.  Recommended for most rotor are either Beldon 8448 or Beldon
9405 or equivalent.  The 8448 #22 and #18 whereas the 9405 is #18
and #16.  I would use the 9405 on heavy duty rotors on the 8448 on
smaller rotors.

Hope this helps

Bob
