i ordered a a 40 watt fm rf amp for my pci max along with a RDS board and i saw it came with RG-59/U and i know the rf amp and pci max is a 50 ohm setup should i use the provided RG-59 or i have some RG-8X and RG-58 or does it not matter at all

thanks for the quick shipping and and very good products

I believe this is the jumper cable from pci max to the amplifier input, correct?

The cable is fine, don't worry.

Thanks for the quick response I have one more question the 40 watt amp i removed the jumpers (witch i believe is what i should have done) but on the board it says 0.3-0.5w when there is no jumpers and i have the 1w pci max but according to the specs on the store
RF Input Power: 100-1000mW (level selectable via 2 jumpers)

can it handle 1w or not?

also yes i was talking about the jumper wire thanks for that info.

also i forgot to add what is better doing using sam for Pre-emphasis or the hardware of the pci max for Pre-emphasis

If you have SAM broadcasting, I would use SAM.

i still need to know with the jumpers removed on the rf amp is it safe to use a 1w pcimax as the board says 0.3-0.5w but ur specs say RF Input Power: 100-1000mW (level selectable via 2 jumpers) i dont want to damage the amp or the pci max

Which amp is that?

its the DIGITAL 40W FM BOOSTER+ with SWR meter

i i got it as the store said it would work with the pci max up to 1w

thank you for your help

1W should be ok, but start with both jumpers removed, than if you don't get expected results add 1 first and later the other.
