Re: [Repeater-Builder] LMR coax
I have used both LMR the small hard line I dont think much of ether one might be alright on short run but line loss is a problem with both . Spend money and get larger hard line will be cost less in long run FIX RIGHT FIRST TIME , and you won't have to go back and do over .

RE: [Repeater-Builder] LMR coax
Tim, The only issue I have had is that if you get any moisture between the braid and foil shield.. you will soon have the million diode marching band serenading your receiver in a duplex environment. It happened to a guy just South of here when a hunk was used in a duplexer harness a while back. Replaced the jumper and all was well again... Also the braid is aluminum, so it is pretty fragile to any twisting etc where it attaches to a connector. Also makes it somewhat difficult to solder to. Use the crimp-on style connectors from www.Fab-Corp.com and provide some kind of stress relief to the connector. Try not to nick the center conductor when you strip it back as it is copper-clad aluminum. I a simplex environment... I love it!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] LMR coax
I have had good luck, except the LMR400 / similar to 9913 is prone to center conductor (copper clad solid aluminum) breaking if it gets too much flexing. ssbOn 4/2/06, Mike Perryman K5JMP [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tim,The only issue I have had is that if you get any moisture between the braidand foil shield..you will soon have the million diode marching bandserenading your receiver in a duplex environment.It happened to a guy just South of here when a hunk was used in a duplexer harness a while back.Replaced the jumper and all was well again...Also the braid is aluminum, so it is pretty fragile to any twisting etcwhere it attaches to a connector.Also makes it somewhat difficult to solder to.Use the crimp-on style connectors from www.Fab-Corp.com andprovide some kind of stress relief to the connector.Try not to nick thecenter conductor when you strip it back as it is copper-clad aluminum.
