Signal fading in the cable

Hi guys, I just wanted to give you a short update. Thanks to your help and suggestions I have made some progress on debugging my cable. So far I have covered around quarter of the length and mended six breaks. Most of them were old scotchlock junctions, but there were also one of two new ones. Thank...

Signal fading in the cable

I just went out and did a new test with the AM radio. This time a clear break in the signal was detectable. This was just where I had two scotchlocks quite close to each other. I cut these two out of the cable, made a temporary join just twisting the cable together (after pulling up much of it to ge...

Signal fading in the cable

Thanks for the updates, LOUISXIV. Yes, I collected only a single side of the loop. I connected my electric fence generator, but I was not able to directly determine where any break was. I have yet to do and AM radio tracking after this, though. To connect the electric fence I had to strip new ends o...

Signal fading in the cable

I have tracked the wire with an AM radio (disconnecting one of the connectors), and as I initially described there is no clear point where the signal dropped drastically. It was more like a general fade. If it faded too low, I could typically go back a few metres to pick it up again, and continue tr...

Signal fading in the cable

Of course, I disconnected all cables before measuring :-)

Signal fading in the cable

I have made the measurements and found the following: 80 kOhm for the boundary cable end-to-end 110 kOhm between the guide and one end of the boundary cable 43 kOhm between the guide and the other end of the boundary cable This is more than 1000 orders of magnitude (kOhm vs Ohm) larger than what you...

Signal fading in the cable

Hi LOUISXIV, Sadly I only understand English. I will try to fix my signature once I figure out how (with a a lot of help from Google translate) :-). The lamp on the station is blinking slowly which is indicative of a wire break if I recall correctly. I will be sure to do a resistance measurement wh...

Signal fading in the cable

Hi, I mean the boundary wire. I have a guide wire of around 70 m in addition. Problems I'm seeing are only with the boundary wire. I'm not sure I understood your suggestions. Should I attach the boundary wire to the guide wire plug on the base station instead? And how would measuring the resistance ...
