ABR is local and very good. Standard and custom lengths. You pick the connectors, or just buy the cable. On Wed, Oct 26, 2022, 9:52 AM Hassan Thomas via BVARC wrote: > Hello BRAZOS, > > Curious what folks think of the wireman >

Re: [BVARC] Good Coax?

Pretty much all the Wireman sells is good stuff, and they have good customer service. I've bought different types of wire and other accessories from them. That said, ABR is good stuff and local Gus K5GMB On Wed, Oct 26, 2022 at 9:52 AM Hassan Thomas via BVARC wrote: > Hello BRAZOS, > > Curio

I always try to use Belden...never had a bad experience with it...LMR is ok but I use it in simplex operations...doubt you'll ever need to use it on rptr but in duplex operation, LMR is bad...foil and braid shield cause noise issues...double copper braid like RG214 OR RG9 , or the smaller RG55 , 40

While we are on the topic of coax…. I am in need of buying a few pieces for my mobile kit. Instead of buying one really long piece, I think I would prefer 2 or 3 smaller pieces to make use easier. I could connect with barrel connectors to get the length I need for each specific deployment. So m

Re: [BVARC] Good Coax?

My best coax is from ABR (here in Houston) and DX Engineering.  I have some Wireman coax which is also good, but not quite the quality I desire.  However, Wireman control cables are the best I have purchased. 73, Keith NM5G On Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at 09:52:06 AM CDT, Hassan Thomas via

I'll 2nd Dwayne's response about ABR. As for Wireman, they specialize more with antenna wire and baluns/ferrites. They're a good company. 73K5MGJ On Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at 10:00:38 AM CDT, Dwayne Jones via BVARC wrote: Buy local..Support local. Support a company that supports B

Re: [BVARC] Good Coax?

I agree that ABR Industries is the best choice.  They are members of the local clubs and can make any custom cable that you need, specify connectors, coax jumpers and any other coax you need in your shack. They also sweep test their final construction prior to delivery, something that I can't

Hello BRAZOS, Curious what folks think of the wireman coax. Is this a decent/good coax? Any other manufacturers folks have used and recommend? Thank you. Kindest Regards, Hassan Thomas _
