LMR-1200 has about .9dB loss for 100 feet LDF4-50A has about 1.45dB loss for 100 feet
At first glance, it looks like you can gain a little more than 1/2dB by using LMR-1200. Now. the real world. LMR-1200 will require a jumper at the top and the bottom of the cable run. (It's too big to connect directly to the antenna or the duplexer at the bottom). This means that you will have to have 4 additional connectors and 2 short lengths of jumper cable when using LMR-1200. This will add up to much more loss than the 1/2dB you saved by using LMR-1200. Also, LDF connectors are much easier to install than LMR connectors. Cheaper too. Pulling 100 feet of LMR cable up a tower can be difficult too. LDF is much easier to install and hardware, such as connectors, ground kits, snap-in hangers, are easier to find. 73, Joe, K1ike -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Dan Blasberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Joe, > > 1) I would like to, yes. > 2) 442.500/447.500 > > Dan > > > On Jan 27, 2007, at 8:00 AM, Joe wrote: > > > Maybe I missed it, but I have 2 questions: > > > > 1) Are you going to use this for a repeater? > > 2) What frequency(s) are you going to be using? > > > > Joe > > > > > > --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Dan Blasberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > >> > >> Anybody have any opinions on LMR-1200 as feedline? > >> > >> I have access to about 100' with N connectors at both ends, that I am > >> thinking of using for feedline. > >> > >> Thanks, > >> > >> Dan > >> KA8YPY > >> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Yahoo!
