[AK-VHF] LMR 400 loss at 70cm

[Tom Elmore]

Does anyone use LMR 400 ultra flex on 432? I am surprised what I am seeing
for loss on short cable runs.  My 432 transverter sits across the room from
the amplifier and is fed with about 13 feet of LMR 400 then the amp feeds
and antenna switch probably another 10 feet away or so and with 400 watts
out of the amp I am loosing almost 100 watts by the time it gets to the
alpha delta 2 port switch. The antenna analyzer isn't showing much loss but
the wattmeter sure is. I thought maybe I would loose a couple of watts
between the two different cable runs but not nearly 100.

 

Thank You
