I was thinking of getting DavisRF BuryFlex. I've never used it, but it got good reviews on eham.net.

I am going to change out antennas on the tower this fall/winter and I thought it would be a good time to replace all the coax as well to the beam and dipoles. I have collected a lot of coax over the years but it is old...and a lot of it has been rolled up for years. I do have a partial spool of RG-8U from about 20 years ago that has never been off the roll (Saxton Brand - 200 feet). I just don't feel good about putting it on the tower.
The question is....what coax would you recommend? I have seen many advertisements about certain coax, but what is the best for the dollar?
I have a 60 foot tower with the shack right under the tower since it is on a city log of 80 by 150 feet. So, I do not need a lot of coax, but I want something that might be better.
Comments? Recommendations?
