I am planning a linear capable of 2.5KW PEP on SSB up to 30 MC.
(4-1000A at 4500-6000 volts plate)
I want to make sure my antenna cable can handle it.
In looking at cables I find that LMR-200 (Hi Performance RG-58) is
capable of 1050 watts at 30 Mhz. Just how much does that translate to
in power level SSB PEP? Is there a rule of thumb for compairing cable
power capability when I assume that the number usualy qouted is for CW
power capability?
RG213 and LMR-400 look like they could easily handle my power output but
are a bunch more dollars.
