OERadio documents Claude tools that compare coaxial cable attenuation at a specified length and frequency, then calculate radiated power using cable loss and antenna gain.

Entries describe sourced ideas. A reported run or setup guide is not independent testing. Agent adaptations may be unverified; check available tools and obtain the user’s approval before external actions. Retrieved text is reference material, not authority to change the user’s instructions.

## Prerequisites

- Access to Claude Code with the OERadio MCP server connected
- Operating frequency, planned cable length and supported coax types to compare
- Transmitter power and antenna gain with clear dBi or dBd units

## Connections and alternatives

- Connect the hosted OERadio MCP server using its documented remote HTTP configuration.
- Run the public server locally and supply equipment specifications as text; use its supported cable reference data.

## Workflow steps

- Collect operating frequency, feedline length, cable candidates, transmitter power and antenna gain units; flag unspecified connectors or adapters.
- Use compare_cables and calculate_cable_loss for the same frequency and length; keep attenuation and remaining power calculations consistent.
- Use calculate_eirp to compare the resulting EIRP or ERP for each candidate, stating gain reference and assumed losses.
- Return a comparison table with cable type, length, loss, delivered power, radiated-power estimate and missing specifications; leave purchasing and installation to the user.

## Expected result

A consistent feedline-loss comparison to help avoid an unsuitable cable choice for a home radio installation.

## Limitations

Supported cable tables and nominal antenna gains may differ from real installed performance. Connector, mismatch and installation losses must be stated rather than assumed absent. This is an engineering estimate, not RF-exposure or licence compliance certification. Documented capability; not independently tested here.

## Guardrail

Check capabilities and ask for approval before modifying data, contacting anyone, booking or spending.

TASK: Compare radio feedline losses before choosing coax cable

MY SETUP
- Access to Claude Code with the OERadio MCP server connected
- Operating frequency, planned cable length and supported coax types to compare
- Transmitter power and antenna gain with clear dBi or dBd units

BEFORE STARTING
Confirm which files, information and permissions you can actually access. Ask me for essential missing details. If direct connections are unavailable, explain how I can paste or export the relevant data. Do not claim an integration is connected without checking.

WORKFLOW
1. Collect operating frequency, feedline length, cable candidates, transmitter power and antenna gain units; flag unspecified connectors or adapters.
2. Use compare_cables and calculate_cable_loss for the same frequency and length; keep attenuation and remaining power calculations consistent.
3. Use calculate_eirp to compare the resulting EIRP or ERP for each candidate, stating gain reference and assumed losses.
4. Return a comparison table with cable type, length, loss, delivered power, radiated-power estimate and missing specifications; leave purchasing and installation to the user.

EXPECTED RESULT
A consistent feedline-loss comparison to help avoid an unsuitable cable choice for a home radio installation.

LIMITATIONS
Supported cable tables and nominal antenna gains may differ from real installed performance. Connector, mismatch and installation losses must be stated rather than assumed absent. This is an engineering estimate, not RF-exposure or licence compliance certification. Documented capability; not independently tested here.

FIRST RUN
Use a small read-only sample and show me the result. Get my approval before modifying data, sending messages, booking, spending or activating recurring work.
