RG142 had a lot worse loss than LMR200. We do use it for duplexer connecting and test cables because it is so tough. There are a large number of Hellas manufacturers that have equivalent specs to Andrew without the steep price tag though. For jumpers between GHz radio and antenna I would stick with LMR200. honestly though, last time I checked you could buy them cheaper than you could make them. We buy LMR in 500 foot reels and connectors a indeed at a time and I can't make then as cheap as you can buy them. Parts cost for us is about $11 and we bought them for around $15. Of course if you don't count labor cost I guess you could view that as cheaper. On Apr 19, 2015 12:20 PM, "Jaime Solorza" <[email protected]> wrote:
