Since my last message I have counted up what cable I have left, and as I had
a record of what I bought my usage was as follows :
4AWG : 20 feet
10AWG : 21 feet
12AWG : 7 feet
14AWG : 4 feet
18AWG : 1 foot
20AWG : 42 feet
22AWG : 96 feet
18AWG single plus screen : 10 feet (mag cables) *
20AWG single plus screen : 19 feet
22AWG single plus screen : 32 feet
22AWG twin plus screen : 10 feet (overhead headset) *
22AWG triple plus screen : 10 feet (overhead headset) *
RG400 screened antenna, better quality for TXPDR : 12 feet
RG58AU screened antenna : 25 feet *
* means that it was a bit tight and I should have used a little more
If I did it again I would use lots less 10AWG and use doubled up 14AWG
instead as it fits in connectors better.
I used four different AMP connectors for the major connection to the panel
plus some other inline connectors at each component.
I planned and calculated for a while before I bought this stuff, and had to
order more !
I do have some cable left.
