Better coax, great price
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I bought about 30' of this to feed a 6 meter antenna in the attic. It is the same size, less flexible, but much lighter than RG-8 (1/2 the weight?) probably due to the 10AWG copper-clad aluminum center conductor. Lower loss than RG-8, easier PL-259 installation and high quality construction. Bought at the 2006 Cary, NC Hamfest from DBJ Radio and Electronics who were very knowledgable about their products. Will most definitely buy more of the same coax again from the same supplier, and will also try the larger and smaller sizes in the future.

A Cheaper alternative
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|
If you're looking for an alternative to LMR-400, I would recomend this cable. Specs are very close to it and LMR connectors can be used.
I bought a 1000' role off of Ebay. With the shipping costs, the cable is .36/foot.
I have been using this for my cable runs on my tower as well as long runs in my shack.
This stuff can't be beat for a great alternative.
The spec sheet can be found by typing in "3227" on this search page:
