My Favorite Coax Time Owned: more than 12 months.
After learning the hard way that LMR400UF is NOT UV resistant, I invested in several runs of Davis BURY-FLEX. With out a doubt the finest all-around RG-8 type coax on the market. You won't be disappointed. It's rugged enough for straight runs, and flexible enough for rotator loops. A+

Excellent coax! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This is the only coax I use, and I use if from HF through 1296 MHz. Big selling point for me is the 100% copper center conductor, not copper-clad aluminum as some of the competitors use. The outer jacket is tough but animals can chew through it so placing it in conduit instead of direct burial is advisable.

All that it says it is Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Well, OK, I don't do a lot of reviews, but when I built my tower here in Branson over 10 years ago I use Davis RF Bury Flex. What can I say? It is excellent feedline. Top notch, first rate stuff. I would buy again.

Good Low-Loss Coax Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Can't believe there aren't more reviews here for this great coax! This is all I used when I had my station up and running in early 2001. Low-loss, direct-bury, good customer service............ what are you waiting for?

Great Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Steve Davis at Davis RF is a very knowledgeable person when it comes to coax and ropes for ham radio ! I have spoke with him a few times about various projects I was doing ! The bury flex coax is a very well made coax for ham radio! I purchased some 1/2 inch rope for lifting purposes from him and well pleased with the quality ! 7050 lbs breaking strength ! Steve will take time to answer all your questions ! Sam w8spm

Great Stuff - Works as Advertised Time Owned: N.A.
I have an underground 300' run from my shack -- including under a dirt road -- to my raised bed septic system, over which this BuryFLEX feeds my 80-meter dipole. My only rig is an Elecraft KX3, running 5 or 10 watts 95% of the time. I've gotten terrific reports with this center-fed 1/2 wave dipole. I buy all my coax from Davis RF. Great service. I use LMR-400 for my 15-, 20-, 30- and 40-meter dipoles which are closer to the shack and don't require and underground run.

4 years + Time Owned: more than 12 months.
When we moved over 4 years ago I ordered Bury Flex direct from Davis RF. Great customer service and quick shipping. Buried the coax directly in the lawn to feed my Hustler BTV5. Over 4 years now not a problem. You can't beat the feedline for the price.

Excellent product and Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I received my order of 175' of the Davis BuryFlex. It is a quality product. The connectors were attached securely unlike some other companies products. The customer service was a real pleasure. That is a rarity these days. Gets a big thumbs up in my book. Will order more in the future.

great coax, great customer service Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
purchased Bury-Flex directly from Davis RF. The Customer Service Rep was great, very knowledgeable and courteous. Order was packed well, shipped fast. Bury-Flex is SO much easier to work with compared to LMR-400; can even use the standard PL-259 (Amphenol 83-1SP). Very pleased with the quality of the coax! Thanks Davis RF!

Great Cable! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Recently, I purchased 227ft of Davis Bury Flex (and quite a few other goodies) to replace my entire feedline run. Not only is this a very low loss cable and very solid electrically, but the outer jacket is the toughest PE I've seen yet! It's TRULY a direct buriable cable and is flexible enough to use all the way up my crank-up tower, loop it for the rotor and go directly to the antenna.....no connector splices. Davis RF is a great company with high quality products and great customer service. Steve personally spent alot of time answering my questions via phone and email. Davis Bury Flex is a top quality cable. Thanks Davis RF!
