Needed: Recommendations for coax for VHF and UHF work
 

I am finally going to put up a VHF antenna for 2 meter and another antenna
for 70 cm.

What is type of coax should I use? Rg213? Or will RG213 be too lossy?

Recommendations please...

Rob

more info needed. how long will the runs be? and what will you be using
them for, accessing the local repeater or moonbounce?

RG213 is WW2 technology. You are better of with Times LMR400, Belden 9913,
or CPX1318.

I vote for the Belden 9913.

Hi Rob

I use Belden 9913 and am most pleased with it!

Hi -

Just curious: Do you know of any (reasonably priced) vendor that
offers 9913 conveniently made up in standard lengths, with connectors?
(CPX1318 is available in that form.)

Cecil,
I don't think they sell the water pipe any more. I have the CPX stuff on
432, 9913 for 6m inside, and LMR400 if somebody else is paying for it.

The Wireman (see website), stocks no pre-made cables, but will make up
a custom cable of any type, any connector, any length -- just call
'em.
