Could any one help me figure out how to test continuity in a RG6 cable ie whether or not there is any break in a lengthy RG6 cable.

Thanks

Yup, you have to put the multimeter in continuty mode ( the one which provides beep when two leads are joined together)

The easy way to check RG6 cable continuity is by adding 2.4 voltage bulb &2 normal 1.5 V cell s in series with each wire.
