can the coax be longer than 18 feet

Antenna cables are cut to the wavelength -keeps the SWR down, so 1/2 wavelength, ect. are ok. Hope that helps

Yes, it can be longer, as long as it's 50 ohm, if you replace the RG58 coax that comes with the antenna, you should use RG8, or RG8X. You'll have less loss with those.

The quick answer is no. The 18" linking cord was too short, so I extended them to the length I needed.

Proprietary minature coax used by most/all XM rcvrs. If you need extra length, purchase extension from them, etc.

Yes. The diameter of cat5 cable is just a but smaller than coax. Might be a tad loose but still provide support.

I went out and measured my Durango. The coax has to be at least 14 feet to go from the back left corner of the roof to the front dash area.

The cable is about 8 feet longyes you can add an extension but I 'm not sure if this will affect the reception

No it does not work from a standard Coax cable- THIS CABLE will not work for that ,it is some type of specialty coax hookup not for home

here's one here on amazon RiteAV 25 feet RG6 Coax Satellite / CATV Cable - Screw On F-Connector Type i'd check ebay too maybe able to find a 20ft but this is pretty cheap..

I sent that one back. Don't know the size but it does not have a coax cable input.

Like most systems the cables are not long enough for most aplicatiomns . Perhaps 15 feet or so.

No!! you cant replace it , But you can join extension coaxial cable to make it longer..

Cable is not very long. I used a splitter and connected it to the cable in the attic since I had to put the antenna in an attic window to get good reception. So yes it can be extended.

I ordered it with 50' of 50 ohm coax. If you have the cable 50 ohm with pl-259 male connectors on each end, no additional cable is required.

No. This coax connection is much larger than the single prong coax and has multiple prongs.

Yes, its designed to use 300 ohm cable. To convert to coax you will need a booster (which is normally not needed) and a 75ohm to 300ohm transformer.

i think it was shorter than that. However, you can use an adaptor and connect to a longer coax cable. pts

Try to add 19 Ft of regular wire, see if it works. You have nothing to lose...
