Source of cable for internal antenna link?

Post by kc0kec »

Hello,
I am finishing up a 10M "micro mountaineer" kit I started years ago (I took a few years off ham radio to raise my kids... sorry! :? )

Inside this kit I am supposed to use a shielded cable to connect the output of one circuit to the input of another - this goes through a variable resistor for RF gain control.

I tried doing this with RG-58 but it is too stiff. I need something probably 14, 16, or 18 gauge and stranded. Must be shielded.

Any recommendations for a source for this cable? RG-58 was the smallest shielded cable they had.

Thanks much!
