3', 6' or 9' Cables?

[222FL]

It's a CB myth and mostly snake oil. Use what is needed to get from point a to b. It's all relative to the 36ft that is 11m or 27mhz band. Some think that multiples of 3ft are needed to keep everything in line with the 36ft for 11m. It's snake oil and don't fall for it. Use what your need. Yes making coax jumpers in 2 or 3ft increments is easy and normally a 3ft coax jumper is all that is needed. Some may require longer coax jumpers to go to an amp or somewhere that the other equipment is located, but I have used 20ft, 25ft, 8ft, all different lengths and as long as your system is matched at or near 50 ohms. If you are having to use specific lengths as such stated, you may have mismatch issues somewhere as normally whatever reaches from point A to B should work the same, I.E. A 2ft coax jumper shouldn't show any difference to a 3ft one. It's some peoples belief and some times it does work, but it's normally a band aid for another issue. Now when speaking in terms of long runs, they normally come in 50ft increments, and I don't think that is a multiple of 3ft now is it?? Maybe my math is different than some others LOL!! Take it for what it's worth. Use what reaches from point A to point B and be done. JMHO. Good day. And this is a touchy subject so let the war begin LOL!!!!
