121. [TowerTalk] Coax (score: 1)

RG213 is not a spec, it's a very broad generic description. There are RG213s built with thin copper braid and others with heavy copper braid. The loss in cable is a direct function of how much copper

Jim, the example compares 200ft of LMR400 to RG213. The stated difference is .358 dB/100ft for a total of .716 dB. That is a power ratio of 1.179 or 100w vs 117.9w. That is easily measured with a bir

And at that level, small differences in match will affect not only the power actually delivered, but also (probably to a greater effect) the readings on the meter. I'd also be interested how they got

At low frequencies, dielectric loss is very low, gradually rising with increasing frequency. At some frequency dielectric loss takes over, but that frequency is way above HF. At HF it's all about DC

The dominant reason loss goes up with frequency at HF is that the skin depth is getting thinner (hence the sqrt(f) term in the loss equation). Most of those equations and formulas have two terms a k1

More like 115 or 120W vs 100W .. 5% accuracy is probably more realistic. As an example, the Telepost LP100 manual (which I happen to have here) says 5% worst case absolute, 3% typical, but doesn't sa

It is more economical, but not that much. On a per foot basis, Davis 213 is 78 cents while I can find LMR-400 at 89 cents, or about 14% more. Of course in 500 and 1000 foot spools they are both, nota

Agreed on all counts. Another of those complicating factors is the fact that the Zo of a transmission line is NOT a pure resistance, nor is it constant with frequency. Zo starts out highly reactive a

This assumes that the two meters are identical, calibrated identically and with identical deviations with frequency. At the very least, I would take measurements "both ways" - once with meter 1 on t

It would be interesting to see actual loss of Belden 8267 RG-213. I only use it for jumpers and rotator loops and I use Heliax for long runs. Johh KK9A RG213 is not a spec, it's a very broad generic

Ditto! I use LMR-400 exclusively for all long HF runs. Good stuff, if a little harder to prep for terminations than RG-8 is. When shipped by UPS or FEDEX the vendors ship 1000 ft as two reels of 500
