I'm looking ot replace my coax runs. I will operate up thru 6 m, and lengths to 150 or so ft. I want coax that is low-loss, flexible for the rotor loops and long-lasting. I'm considering: CXP-1318FX

John, All of those types you mention are good. I have had excellent results with " Bury-Flex " by Davis RF. I use it for runs up to and exceeding 400 ft, on all bands including 50 Mhz. It is tough,fl

I'm using LMR-400uf . Its working well, I didn't try the LMR-400 because of the rotor loop. I've had good luck and pricing from Davis RF www.davisrf.com. They also offer there own version called bury

I'm in the process of doing the same and came across Andrew CNT-400 from Antenna Systems and Supplies Company. This coax is the same as LMR-400... They have a 1000' reel for $400. Joe - KC2TN I'm loo

John: I use LMR-600 on the long run between the single point ground panel and the tower mounted antenna switch. I use 'Bury Flex' 9914 everywhere else - up the tower to the antennas and around the ra

I like the Cable XPerts 1318FX best of the three you've listed; however, they all have cellular poly dielectrics and all are fragile cables; that doesn't mean they are not "long lasting," but they mu

I like LMR400 and I have used LMR600 for a longer runs. I use buryflex up the tower and for rotor loops. This is the first that I have ever heard of not cable tying LMR400. LMR400 is pretty tough stu

Hi Kevin, I, too, have used tons of LMR400. Here's what happens with a cable tie: It would indeed be difficult to compress the dielectric so severely that it shorts out due to mechanical failure. I c

Hi Wes, I've used, and like to use, stuff like RG217, RG17, RG18, etc. Reason: Very available as new mil surplus, handles lots of power, even mismatched; solid dielectric will withstand tons of abuse

[Steve Katz] Yes, Kevin, it's a high-power phenomenon, which is logical since the voltage across the line at 1.5kW (VSWR = 1.0) is 273.9V, pretty close to the breakdown limit of cellular polyethylen

All this talk about coax and I find I am low on Belden 8267 or RG-213. That's what I have always used for phasing lines and short tower runs. I see the actual Belden price (from Newark) is about .90/

Hi Mike, I have always used RG213 for phasing lines and to feed all the antennas at my qth. I frankly don't think that the extra cost for Belden or LMR is worth it. I would recommend that you contact

Hi John, Thanks for the explanation. The coax does have a non-contaminating jacket and is meant for direct burial - I believe it is the buryflex coax that was mentioned in another post. 73 Bob KQ2M
