[TenTec] OT: Question on Coax Cable

[Mike Pagel]

Hi Rick:

Try http://www.ssbusa.com/ham.html they're in Mountaintop, PA and list
Aircell 7 for sale on their web page.  The potentially scary thing is that
their web page was last updated in 2003.  Still worth a try, though.

Subject: [TenTec] OT: Question on Coax Cable

I am moving back to the states in April and want to know what kind of cable
I should buy for my antennas.

I am familiar with the old standard RG-58, RG-8, and RG-213, but don't know
anything about the stuff which has come onto the market during the past
35years.

(I've been in Europe for 35 years).

 

I see ads for Cinta CNT-240 and CNT-400 in the ham mags.

I wonder how these compare to RG-58 and RG-213 for outdoor use, feeding an
antenna.

 

What are the pro's and con's (disregard cable loss - I have a chart showing
this).

 

Here in Europe, I have been using AIRCELL 7 which is a lot lighter than
RG-213.

It is also smaller in diameter and much more flexible.

At the same time, it is low loss.

 

I am looking for something like this in the states.

 

Open for suggestions!

 

TNX
