Hi this is my 1st post, my native language is not english , so expect a few errors...

My setup:

1 x RPI (Raspbian distro on it)
1 x DVBT pen (from jetvision (expensive by the way same on chine costs 6 euros with postage))
1 x home made antena (used this how too : youtube.com/watch?v=TkUYdCPFXXs )
1 x 6 meters RG58 cable
1 x pigtail from SMA to MCX about 10 cm R316 i think..

My normal range according to FR24 is 180nm

This is my virtual radar plot:

i know that the RG58 is a bad cable. my calculation says that i am loosing about 3.8 db's.
How can this affect my range ?
Do you guys suggest a better cable ?
My plan is to put my PI and DVB-T stick on a box and use only about 10cm or less of cable that way loosing the less possible.

about the antenna is there any model better than this one ?


tanks in advance
