I believe it's got 31.5 feet of ladderline connected to about 68 feet of
coax though I've had 2 and both had different coax lengths and they worked
the same, that part's not critical. I bought one made up so the ladder line
was already attached to the coax through what looks like a balum but
actually isn't anymore than a fancy cover for where they connect coax to
ladderline. I know some do use a ballum but other manufacturers don't, nor
do some people who make their own, it's all in preference and what impedance
I guess the ladder line is, that or personal preference. I've had 2 now and
they worked very well, only reason I took the first one out of line was it
came down and was hit or run over by something and did a lot of damage to
it, nothing I can't fix but it will take time and work.

Subject: G-5RV antenna


Some of you guys on the list     have mentioned the G-5RV antenna several
times
and some spoke highly of it. Could you give me the length of ladderline and
length of coax cable from ladderline to antenna tuner? Also, how did you
attach the coax cable to the ladderline? I have tried the G-5RV and I have
always gone wrong somewhere as it never worked good for me. I would like to
try again as I have limited space. Will appreciate any comments and
suggestions.


Best wishes,
