Recently I purchased Magnum Dynalab MD-90 with their antenna ST-2.

Tuner Mannual says you should use RG6 cable for better reception, while their antenna came with RG59U cable.:eek:

Please advise where can I get this RG6 wire with F connector

Any brand which is good or better over the other
Thanks

    Any local parts depot should have them. Nice Tuner by the way.

    And hey, not trying to be too picky, but 1 post in 1 forum is adequate.

    Cheers,

    Sorry about that :o

    Actualy didnt know where it will be responded. Most of the time Speakers forum is where most of the people are.

    I will try & delete from other places.
    Thanks

    Tapesh, as Russ said, RG6 is readily available where electrical wire is sold, RadioShack among others. However, if the manual said that, it's ridiculous and I'd suggest that you ignore it. Both RG6 and RG59U are 75ohm coaxial cables. RG6 is thicker and has slightly lower attenuation of the signal, but this is so minor that it wouldn't be significant unless some extreme length, say over 100'. was involved. If it was important in general Magnum Dynalab certainly wouldn't have saved a few pennies with the RG59U. Relax.
