Does anybody know anything about  RG-304 ?    Its  aprx  .271 OD.... and has 
teflon  + silver braids /center conductor. 
Im having a helluva time trying to find out what gauge the center conductor is. 
 Does anybody know ? 
I think  304  is  sorta the teflon version of  RG-8X, and aprx the same  OD. 

If you can wind RG-58  and  also possibly  RG-8X  onto a stack of torroids, 
then there should be no issue using RG-304.

IF  304  has a bigger center conductor than  303 /400 coax, then it might be an 
excellent candidate for applications
where a high powered CMC is required.     RG-393 is .392 OD.... slightly less 
than the .405  found on 213-U. 

I’m looking for a possible alternative to 393,  but cant find any V rating,  
power ratings  or attenuation charts for 1-54 mhz...for  304 coax. 

I have also looked at some of the plenum rated small coax, but the price is sky 
high...and difficult to locate in small  qty.
