# what is the best conductor of electricity

Anyone try this Circular Polarized Antenna from RexUAV? » I just bought this on Amazon: Amazon.com: 2017 REXUAV - DJI, 3DR Solo 2.4GHz CP Long Range Antenna V4: Computers & Accessories It's made out of pure silver and has true 9.5db gain. The RX and TX are polarized in opposite directions which will make for good separation, perfect for amplifying… Mavicpilots.com

Buffer/driver IC: One Tx to Multiple Rx » Hello, I have a fairly simple project that I'm trying to expand while also keeping as simple as possible. Basically I have a Nano that I've programmed to animate some LEDs but I send the animation info to an ATTiny1616 via serial. The Tiny1616 receives the serial data and does the actual flashing of the LEDs. The distance from the Nano to the Tiny 16 is about 5 ft. I'd love to duplicate and daisy chain the ATTiny1616 setup so I can spread many of them over a large area but am unsure how to bes… Forum.arduino.cc

TX vs. RX Coax Losses » We are all used to looking at various sizes of coax when constructing our stations. And, we have all read comments suggesting this type vs. another type. It seems that the rule of thumb is to use larger coax and shortest run possible. These assumptions almost consider the losses of that type… Forums.radioreference.com

Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it? » Why would we not weld all joints. Welded silver or copper wire would not have the loss of conductivity of going through solder. Forum.audiogon.com

Wet locations, PVC and RX cable » I know the NEC states that RX cable cannot be used inside PVC when installed outdoors. I'd just like to know the CMP's thinking in making this determination in some instances. Let's say you have an 40 amp AC disconnect located about 25' away from the breaker panel in a residence. You run 8/2… Forums.mikeholt.com

splicing 3-conductor shielded cable to 2-conductor shielded cable » I have a 3-conductor shielded wire that has RS-232 TX, RX, and signal ground. I have a 2-conductor shielded wire that has RS-232 TX and signal ground. What's the best way of splicing these two together, leaving the RS-232 TX disconnected on the 3-conductor wire? Is it bad to splice these two… Vansairforce.net

Kitchen aluminum 8-3 Rx good 40 amps? » Kitchen Renovation I need a 40 amp circuit for a duel fuel range .The existing circuit is on a 40 amp breaker and is 8-3 Rx aluminum I believe this is rated at 30 amps was there a time that This would have been rated at 40 amps ? If so can I reuse it? Forums.mikeholt.com
