I have
used 1/4” Superflex cable on PL-259 connectors with much success. I solder the connector adapter (RG-58
adapter – sorry don’t remember the model number offhand) to the shield through
two holes (I drill them myself) in the barrel of the adapter. I also needed to open-up the adapter
slightly to allow the Superflex to be inserted into the adapter. Makes for a tight fit to start
with. Then screw the adapter into
the connector, and solder the center connector. Done! Mark – N9WYS -----Original

All----Sounds like I'd better go with some sort of hard line for my between
unit RF interconnects to keep between cable leakage to tolerable
limits----and probably noise too. But this brings up another issue: forgetting
about noise for the moment ---how can a 214 type cable which is listed as
97-98% shielded have lower leakage (desense problems) than a foil cable listed
as 100% shielded? The big
question-------what is the most economical combination of small diameter hard
line and an "N" compatible connector assembly?--------is there
something that can be done with say 1/4" superflex and the affordable
solder through the holes teflon "N" connector that is similar to the
259 "UHF" connector?----what is the best way to go? And
another-------I've seen military microwave gear interconnected with hardline
less than 1/4" diameter ---smooth tubing---with soldered on "N"
connectors-----like is used in mobile helical duplexers-----is this system suitable
and where does it come from? Thanks
much, 73 Scott,

[Repeater-Builder] Coax Question OK guys
---I hear you all saying that hard line is better but none of you
have said what is the actual problem with 9913 flex or LMR-400. In other
words---What is wrong with a quality foil under braid "100%"shielded
foam cable and I'm assuming use between receiver and duplexer,
transmitter and duplexer and duplexer and antenna? And
then the next question that follows is that inside a cabinet full of stuff
where 1/2 inch hard line is just to stiff -----what do you suggest ---and in
this case assume that we are talking about three or four repeaters----yes,
receivers, transmitters, isolators and duplexers all in the same rack cabinet? Scott N6NXI
