Author	Topic:   Splicing RG-58C/U Coaxial Transmission
bill4tuna	posted 09-28-2008 12:28 PM ET (US)         In error, I cut the RG-59C/U cable near the antenna. The cable is routed through the hardtop on my 255 Conquest which is stuffed with wires. How do I correct this?

Put the male connector on the lead from the antenna, the female on the lead to the transceiver. I suggest using BNC series connectors.
