Doug, I just looked at the page you mentioned...  looks like maybe A/F commSupply is assembling then in-house or something.  They claim to be using Anrew cable..  who knows, if they are local it could work to your advantage.  The only issue might be that they are for "indoor" installations.  Maybe they lack the shrink tube?  Your call on which you use...  I did notice FSJ4 was not in their line, only 1 and 2 (1/4" and 5/16" if I recall correctly)....  minor losses for that jumper length.  But sturdiness may be an issue if the rack gets moved around a lot.   mike    -----Original Message----- From: Doug Zastrow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 12:36 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Andrew Valueflex vs. Superflexible Jumpers Hi Mike,   You are right, ValueFlex is NOT in Andrew Catalog 38 nor anywhere to be readily found.   I was shopping the A/F CommSupply Catalog and found the ValueFlex jumpers on page 53.  (Caution if downloading the catalog; it is 7 MB.)   I think your advice to stick with SuperFlex is the best course to follow.   Thanks...   Doug     ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Perryman To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 10:38 AM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Andrew Valueflex vs. Superflexible Jumpers Doug,   Youve got me stumped...  I can find no references to "Valueflex"  on the Andrew site, or in catalog 38.  I did see a reference to "sureflex" factory made jumpers...   I hate to hazard a guess...  other than to say I personally would stick with the standard FSJ4-50B (also known as superflex), or LDF4-50A(low-loss cable).  For short jumper type runs, the standard FSJ4-50B cable should be more than sufficient.   Sorry I can't be more helpful...   mike -----Original Message----- From: Doug Zastrow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 10:18 AM To: repeater-builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Andrew Valueflex vs. Superflexible Jumpers Hello All,   I'm selecting replacement jumpers for a two-meter repeater system.  Specifically the repeater to duplexer and duplexer antenna port to antenna Heliax jumpers.   Andrew offers Valueflex and Superflexible jumpers.  Should I steer clear of the Valueflex?   Thanks....   Doug, WB0UPJ Yahoo!
