[TowerTalk] Coax

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

Two connectors...big deal.  You're going to have a pig tail from  the Yagi 
antenna to the main run of coax anyway.  End result: no extra  connectors.  
Why buy 500 feet of flex when all you need is 15 or 20  feet?  If it was the 
same price it would make sense, but when it's twice as  much?
 
The company sells any length you want.

Fewer  connectors comes to mind. What's the drawback to all flex?
