[SMCARA] Cable

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

Wow!  I saw that stuff on EBay and they wanted $1500 for a 100 foot roll
with UHF connectors! Must be made of gold! 

This is high power and low loss coax similar to LMR-400 or Belden 9913,
but bigger( .545" O.D. vice .405" for 213/400/9913) and heavier. Center
conductor is #10 wire and insulation is rated for 7000 volts (most
RG-213 type is 5KV). Be good on high power VHF/UHF.

Loss (db per 100 feet at 200MHz)

RG-174 (tiny stuff)	12.0
RG-58C			 7.4
RG-8X (8 Mini)		 5.4
RG-213			 2.7
RG-217			 2.0
LMR-400/9913		 1.8
LFD-50 Hardline		 0.98

Now you can see why hardline is the feedline of choice 
for repeaters and serious VHF/UHF stations, such as EME, etc.
