[HCARC] Question for Mr Bill on LMR-400

[Bill Tynan]

Garry:

No, I wouldm't worry abt using LMR-400 for HF bands. If you'r e  talking 2 
meters or above or even 6 meters, if you want the least loss, OK. But 40 
meters, even 10 meters, it's not worth the extra cost.

BYW if you ARE using LMR-400, get the crimp-on connectors. I got the wrong 
ones and had a hell of a time getting them on. I'm not a very good 
technician. Glad I didn't have to make my living that way. We'll talk abt 
Tomahawk sometime.

73,

Bill, W3XO/5
