[Elecraft] XV: Coax for interfacing

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

The signals between the XV and your K2 are all below 30 MHz, no matter which
transverter you are using. The K2 feeds 10 meter RF to the XV which then
up-converts it to 50, 144, 222 or 432 MHz (depending upon the transverter),
and then the incoming RF from the antenna is down-converted in the
transverter to 10 meters and sent to the K2. 

So anything that's reasonable for short runs between the XV and K2 on 10
meters is fine.

Well, I took the plunge and bought an unopened XV50 kit along with a K60XV
from a user on this reflector.  Thanks to all who replied to my previous
post.

Now, regarding the coax interconnects between the K60XV and XV units. Can I
use mini-coax such as RG-316 for these low power interconnects or should I
go with something beefier because of the higher frequencies involved
especially when I go to add 222 or 432?  I'm merely asking because I already
have a fair amount of RG-316 on hand including the appropriate BNC
connectors.  However, I have no problem paying for the right stuff if it is
an issue.  The XV50, and future XV's will always be located right next to,
or under, the K2.

Thanks
