I plan to run LMR 400 up to the top of the tower, and the lowest loss coax for the remaining antennas on the mast. It's advertised as being flexible and capable of being used as a rotor loop. Have

I am using LMR 600 UF at the rotor loop. Neither 400 or 600 should be used unless it is Ultra flex and anchored very well on both sides of the loop. The taller the loop, the better. Say 6 feet one
Pete, I'm using Davis RF Bury-flex for my rotor loop. I also ran it inside a length of flexible garden hose to protect it from the sharp edges at the top of my tower. Good for 7 years so far. 73, Ste
Davis Bury Flex is not the same as Times Microwave LMR-400 or LMR-400UF. The performance specs at HF are similar, but Davison BuryFlex is more flexible. Ive used it for rotor loops and rotating crank
I think that's a great choice, but only the guys who climb my towers know for certain what's up there. :) LMR400UF is a bad idea, because it does not do well with UV. I bought some from an SMC contes
I can't comment on rotor loops but I can say that I have had 4x 125+ feet runs of Bury Flex buried for almost 20-yrs and the cable looks brand new if you pull some of it out of the ground. I have fou
Very happy with BuryFlex as loops on many antennas. Not mentioned in the other feedback is the jacket is really abrasion resistant. Much better than LMR or 9913. Grant KZ1W On 5/18/2020 15:40, Pete R
This is confusing because the subject does not match the contents of the post. When people reply that this coax has worked well for them for years I wonder which coax they are referring to - Bury-FLE
Hi John, BuryFlex is my go to for loops (14 antennas on 4 towers). One of those loops is 9913, had to buy it when BF was out of stock. I was concerned enough about it last year that I did an examinat
Hello John: I use the DX Engineering RG-213 mil-spec for all of my coax loops. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-213u The reason to use RG-213 is the solid polyethylene dielectric which is very
It's great to see advice accompanied by solid reasoning for it! 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list Tow
For decades I have used Belden 8267 (RG213) which I considered to be tough as nails. Unfortunately the jacket on my newer runs of 8267 has quickly lightened in color which has me concerned. I have a
Hello John: My experience with Belden 8267 is exactly the same as yours. Belden coax that was installed 6 years ago - looked horrible from the outside and was showing premature signs of shield degrad
I used DXE RG-213 on a recent antenna repair and it has been working great. Glad to hear of K3LR's experience with installs up to 8 years old. 73, Bob - W3YY --Original Message-- From: TowerTalk [mai
