Good coax for HF
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|

I have about 100' of this coax in use at my QTH and it has performed well on my 40 & 80 meter Double Bazooka dipoles for about 3 years. I would not recommend for VHF/UHF applications. Belden is the brand to buy for coax and this is a good HF coax.

Great for H.F.

Belden 213 is the best bet for H.F. use, Bar none. But DO NOT attempt to use it at VHF/UHF it's loss at those frequencies is terrible. Best bet for two meters and above would be the Times series, LMR 400 etc.

The perfect HF Coax
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months

I have used a run of the latest version of the 8267 Belden RG-213/U and it is built like our military that uses it! You can run over this stuff with a truck and it will not deform the dielectric material or nick the jacket. They use a new flat black, rubber like PVC coating on the jacket that makes for a very, very durable high power coax that should last a long time. Takes connectors very easily -- I installed PL-259's much easier than on the copycat RG-213 I have used in the past.
It is expensive, but if you shop around, you can find it at less than .80 / ft -- should be the last coax you need. Don't think I will ever try the imitations again.
