I'm a fan of the andrew 1/4 inch superflex. You can terminate them with standard PL259, using the UG176 reducer meant for use with rg59, soldering the shield at the top only. I've not swept them but feel sure they would be sufficient for any frequency you would feel comfortable using a PL259. This size superflex isn't real springy and will stay where it's put pretty well.

Then, I thought that this might be helpful to others. Here's what I came up with so far. Please add any that I have missed. RG-142 Be careful that it will not move around much. RG-400 RG-214 Be sure it is the double silver braid stuff. RG-233 RG-393 Any of the Andrews Superflex/Heliax sizes. I have always used the RG-142 and RG-214 in the past, now I have others to look for. There must be others that meet the specs of double silver braid or solid outer conductor. This list will help me when shopping hamfest, etc. Jimmy Powell, KS4KX Roanoke, VA Repeaters 443.675, 443.200, 224.780 Maintain RVARC 146.985 and 442.500
