Hold on, I am heading out the door right now the the camera I'm gonna get some pics of another tower I setup that is all COAX and I think you'll be drooling when you see it.

Re: [WISPA] coax cables - RG8/U
I have and still do, in some cases, long, (100ft+), cable runs. LMR-400 is the minimum cable size for that on 2.4GHz. You will need an amp. At 5GHz, I would expect LMR-600 or better. However, at 5GHz, I think I would go with tower top radios. I doubt that you will get good results at 5GHz with that kind of cable run. RG8 cable is useless for anything we do as wisps.

Re: [WISPA] coax cables - RG8/U
LMR 400 will work. If you really want to lower your loss, use eliptical waveguide, but be prepared for a very high cost. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!

[WISPA] coax cables - RG8/U
I hate radios at the top of the tower so I'd like to run coax cables to an enclosure at the bottom and add amps to make up for the loss. I'm looking for a 9 mile link. The drop is 150 feet. At any rate, I found an old RG8/U cable. Will that work on 5GHz? I also have LMR400? If not, what would you recommend? -RickG WISPA Wants You!
