[HCARC] LMR-400 COAX

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

A hint that Dale Gaudier K4DG gave me was to always use the LMR-400 DIRECT 
BURIAL cable out of he shack.  The Direct Burial Coax has a sealant inside 
tha seals out moisture tha may try to invade the coax from microscopic 
cracks.  It's important even if you run the coax in conduit underground.

I wouldn't use the Ultra Flex unless you need it for wrapping around a
rotator making more than a 360 rotation.
It's harder to strip and attach connectors.

I have the best price quote for: LMR-400 (Times Microwave Systems brand)
$.95/ft (includes shipping).

Ultra Flex LMR-400 (Times Microwave Systems
brand) $1.69/ft (includes shipping).

I am lobbying for getting Ultra Flex because it is so much more flexible,
AND it has a stranded center conductor. From what I have researched-the
line loss parameters are exactly the same as the stiffer LMR-400 with solid
center conductor. What do you think? So far, there are 3 of us wanting to
upgrade our transmission lines. Comments welcomed.
