So bottom line. yes! For a little bit more in financial expense on the LMR400 cable from RG8x you will noticeably benefit in increased receiving ability as well as transmiting from the upgrade. thanks. On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 11:55 AM, Gayle Dotts wrote: > For use in

For use in HF at 28.000 Mhz frequency, length 75-100 feet, is LMR400 cable worth it for better RX/TX attenuation? ___ BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
