Will Coiling Your Coax Change The SWR Or Damage Your Radio? Is Coiled Coax Bad For Your Radio?
For years the online "experts" have been telling us that if we coil up our unused coax cable it will damage the radio by creating a high-SWR . In this video I test that to see if the "experts" are right. I test two types of coax, one very low quality, inexpensive coax cable, and a higher quality LMR400 coax cable. I test both using a prototype Wouxon KG-S88G GMRS radio (because thats what I had laying around) at 4 to 5 watts.
