[time-nuts] Trimble recommends RG-59 Antenna Cable.

Ken,

I believe that the manual also states that RG-59 has lower loss than RG-58,
but I would use RG-6 for even lower loss.  Neither the antenna nor the
Thunderbolt cares much about the cable impedance.

Hi Time-Nuts guys,  I was reading the Trimble Thunderbolt manual section
2.1.3 (Antenna Cable).  Trimble recommends using RG-59 cable which is 75 ohm
coax.  Is this a typo or is this correct?  I thought that the Trimble
Thunderbolt would use a 50 ohm cable and antenna.
 
Thankyou
