The PackTenna 3ft RG-316 Coax Cable is a short, lightweight coaxial patch lead for portable radio and antenna setups.
Fitted with BNC male connectors on both ends, this cable is ideal for compact portable HF stations, QRP radio kits, SOTA and POTA activations, field days, and travel radio setups where a short, flexible feedline or patch cable is required.
The RG-316 cable construction keeps the lead flexible and easy to pack, while the short 3ft length is useful for connecting radios, tuners, PackTenna antennas, feedline chokes, and other BNC-equipped portable station accessories.
