All the 0.195-in o.d. TFE coax cables I can find have a center conductor that is silver-coated copper-coated steel. This is fine above HF, but it's not great for 160M and 80M, where the steel is cont
RG-400 Silver plated stranded center 1" bend radius .195" OD 50 ohms Choice by many for chokes Stan, K5GO Sent from Stan's IPhone _______________________________________________ _____________________
Can anyone point me to a 50 ohm TFE 0.195-in o.d. cable whose center is NOT coated steel? Likewise, they all have a solid center with a 2-in bend radius. Anyone know of one with a smaller bend radius
I did not realize until Jim's post that RG-142 has a steel center. I also use RG-400 which has a copper conductor and it works great. I use 75 ohm Teflon coax on 80m, now I am wondering what the cond
Thanks for the many responses. RG400 is what I'm looking for. Yes, the application is chokes. The cables for which I've found data sheets say 1-in one-time bend radius. Found what looks like a good

Jim, RG-400 is excellent and easy to use with both crimped and solder connectors. I use it exclusively for all inside RF cabling. New and surplus-spool prices have been driven up during the last two
I Ditto Paul's sentiments. I exclusively use RG400 on everything past the 8X2 box. Searching the surplus's supply houses it shows up periodically. YMMV Wayne W3EA ________________________________ Fro

I concur with Paul. I have been doing this for over 40 years with one exception. Rather than soldering the braid and then trimming it after soldering I found that trimming the braid with a pair of el
Hello Paul Yes, DXE cables (with UG adapters) are made using this ultra-superior method. The UG adapter is silver plated so it makes it even easier to solder the shield this way. 73 Tim K3LR various
