And when you criticize the enclosure and believe it is unnecessary, you're wrong; the outer jacket on that coax would last about 15 minutes out in the weather. Wes N7WS RG-393. Its supposed to be imp
Just a side note, but I wouldn't be so quick to advertise that I sell components to those who violate Federal Law. 73, Dick, W1KSZ .375 inch OD cu tubing, and also .50 and also .750 All of which work
Maybe so, I could be wrong. But my experience has been with RG142 which I had a bunch of at one time. In the AZ sunshine the jacket cracked and I had a mess of tarnished silver on my hands. And if yo
Have you tried flooded CATV RG6, like the stuff DX Eng sells? I've found what seems to be a reliable source for Commscope flooded RG6 for under $100/1,000 ft. I've seen observations that varmints don

Not long ago, it was easy to import some serious amps as long as that manufacturer didn't have a US outlet. The Emtron DX-2sp loafs along at the legal limit. It is quite capable of putting out 2500 P

Hi Wes, Yes, the enclosure is mandated by the choice of coax. Doesnt mean you have to choose that coax, however, does it? If you can see $900 of value in it, then by all means, buy one. I see, maybe,

Am I the only one thinking we should maybe stop walking over the grave of this dead horse that has been dead for a week? For all I care they could sell the thing to CBers for $9000 and it still would

one site that stated FEP-9 could be used outdoors. All the other sites mention nothing about outdoor use. 142 has been commonly used for baluns on VHF yagis for many years. I don't recall hearing any

The photo shows two turns. For chokes wound through toroids and other shapes that provide a similar magnetic path (cylinders, clamp-ons) turns are counted by the number of times the conductor passes
I defy you to find where I ever said I thought this was a good idea, a good deal or that I was in anyway interested in purchasing one. On 2/18/2017 11:33 AM, Jim Thomson wrote: Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017
This doesn't explain why PTFE should not keep up outdoors. Rather the opposite. Hans - N2JFS See https://www.coleparmer.com/tech-article/uv-properties-of-plastics 73, Guy K2AV dielectric inside. PTFE
Taping RG-393 is a good precaution and I would do the same if was using that on an antenna where replacement would be difficult. I bought a used antenna once and some RG-142 teflon coax with a tan ja

My C3i antennas: 50, 144, and 440 MHz all use a coax that looks like the coax described. I don't know the designation of this coax, but it has stood up well to the environment that appears hostile. W
