Joe, I have looked at his product and I am shure it's top quality but a little pricy for our budget. I have one MSR2000 with the factory preamp and it works well. I am hoping someone will see my post that has some spare that we could purchase. I am sure someone out there has a pile of old

Another good source is the RF Connection, www.therfc.com. You can get the RG-400 or RG-142 cables with N-male/female or Mini UHF connectors. They are really high quality. On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 7:19 AM, Maire-Radios maire-rad...@verizon.netwrote: *we get all of ours from Tessco.* **

Pretty much 1/4 Superflex heliax or Teflon RG-400 coax will be the top choices. Avoid any cable using a foil shield as part of its construction. I always make my own, but Tessco, Hutton, eBay, etc. are typical sources of pre-made cables. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From:

RG-400 is a better choice than RG-142. RG-400 has a stranded center conductor and will take repeated bending better than the RG-142 with its solid center conductor. Best choice between RG-400 and Superflex will be mostly length (loss) related. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message -

RG400 would be a better choice than RG142 as someone else pointed out. If you are going to make your own cables, you then have to decide what cable you are going to be more comfortable putting connectors on. My opinion is that the cable loss for a short jumper of RG400 vs Superflex is

Are you planning to install horizontal or vertical seperation? If horizontil it is going to take several hundred feet to not get interferrence from the other. If you can reduce power to lowest and still make the desired contact you can possibly bring them fairly close. I would suggest to use a

under the description you give you can put them on top of each other separated by a 1/2 wave or better without any real problems. if you are only going to transmit on one at a time then you wont have any reall issues. You will be able to run up to about 25 W without any problems that I can think
