MAKE SURE! It has the /U on the RG-214/u back in the 70tys they made a pile of sub-standard RG-214 no U for the DBS Satellite dishes. It was used between the LNA/LNB and the receiver on the back of the dish. It is not the same and in fact is very poor. So watch out when you buy and make darn sure it says RG-214/U on the coax. Lots of the bad stuff has been showing up at Hamfests and eBay and so on. Be careful. 73 Russ, W3CH
