Hi Angel --
I extended my GPS antenna using RG-58 coax, splicing a piece of RG-58 in
the middle of the RG-174. I used crimp-style BNC connectors on each end of
the RG-58 (one male, one female). I used the same type of crimp connectors
on the RG-174, soldering the center pin and building up the jacket on the
RG-174 with shrink tubing so the crimp BNC would have something to grab on
to.
Right now there is about 40' of RG-58 and it seems to work just fine.
Regards,
Karl
