I just did a stupid thing and cut a wrong cable, which happens to be the coax to my UHF.
Just wanted some advice as to how to rewire back to the aerial end.
Its a GME 4702.
Thanks

i agree, you did a stupid thing...
go buy a cpl of coax joiners, and just join the 2 cut ends back 2gether that way... unless you cut right at the base of the ariel... then i dunno how ya would do it, i aint a sparky...

Im pritty sure you need a special tool to get the base where the coax joins into the antenna.
I would do like what macca81 said and get two connectors, The small phone ones are nice and slimline FME-101 and FME 120 then join it back together. if its too close to the antenna best off to go see a dealer

just buy some rg58 from jaycar or whatever and rerun it all. dont bother with conectors as you will get too much loss.
im guessing its just a 5w radio your running?

we dnt like rewiring them at work due to. we have people come in that have had theres rejoined and they loose reception over the time and or break up
