Depends really.... 9913 is a good cable to use if you run modest lengths, the cable doesn't have to move a lot and you don't run really high power.
Here's the dope... The coax is most often a very cost effective choice. The loss for modest length runs is not bad. You should pay serious attention to the coax material and mechanical construction issues for your specific application. The center conductor is often mounted in foam or a hybrid air foam type layout, which has a potential to become problematic. It is possible the center conductor can migrate out of alignment with sharp radius bends and heated center dilectric problems. Because of these two issues I'm not much of a fan about using any foam center coax. There's also a crush problem I'm not going to address in this post... But I have friends who run 9913 with great results. My coax choice before 9913 would be RG-214 mil spec. Stay away from LMR dissimilar metal type coax cables in/for duplex (repeater) operation... cheers, skipp > "Howard Z." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have read that one should use dual-shielded cables. > Which cables are these? > Is Belden 9913F7 a good choice? > Here is its description: http://www.therfc.com/9913f.htm >
