Some have lower loss, some are more flexible, some have better weather resistance, some have better shielding, some have a longer lifetime, some tolerate temperature extremes better, some are more uniform, some are less expensive, and so forth. So deciding which cable is "better" requires a lot more information about what your requirements are. If I went into most places selling cables I'd get laughed at if I took that line, they'd say 'hie me to a research lab, if not an actual nunnery'.  Not that you're wrong, but if you want a single general purpose cable for HF and VHF especially if stocking it for general sale, then there IS a 'best' cable, defined simply by that which most likely serves the wide range of purposes at a low price. Currently in the UK that cable seems to be RG6; few places like to stock more than one type for RF if they think one will do. . . Sounds like you have your answer, then. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
