Review on YOTENKO CB Coax Cable,RG58 Coaxial Cable 2.3Ft,UHF PL259 Male To Male Cable + 2PCS UHF Female To Female SO239 Adapter For CB Ham Radio,SWR Meter,Antenna Analyzer,HF Radio,Amateur Radio by Eric Amiradaki

On April 30, 2021 I passed the Amateur Radio Technician examination and received my call sign from the FCC at the Technician class.My first radio purchases were an AT-D878UVII Pro and BTech UV-5x3. These handheld units don't come with the best antenna for either an apartment or automobile. I chose the Nagoya UT-72 Super Loading Coil 19-Inch Magnetic Mount antenna to increase my gain and thus reach in receiving and transmitting.The antenna come with a 17 foot coax and a SMA Female adapter. While 17 feet is enough for a mobile application (e.g. car, truck, bus, etc.) I'm using mine at home because I sold my automobile.The 17 feet wasn't long enough to reach either of my large metal masses (refrigerator or air conditioner). I purchased this 50 ohm 50 feet long extension coax for the antenna and my two handheld radios.One concern: While this concern doesn't directly relate to this extension coax, it does relate to the overall usage of the item. The SMA Female adapter uses a thin wire to connect the 50 foot extension coax to the radio. I'm worried it won't hold up over time with the weight of 50 ohm coax (50 foot extension) cable. Maybe I'm wrong, but the coax keeps pulling it down and the wire looks very fragile.Overall I have no problem highly recommending 50 foot extension cable to any HAM radio operator for use with handheld, mobile, or base stations.
