If you need to go around a Rotor, then use UF. If No roto then the regular LMR 400 is ok.
I usually order my cables pre-cut with connectors installed.

Even if you do go with the 'real' LMR400, I think you'll have better luck than with RG8U.

with LMR 400. I have about a 40 foot run. Is there any

with a short section of the UF between the preamp and
antenna to
accomodate the rotor turning? How about just using a
short section
of RG8U there instead of the LMR400UF? I'm trying
to do this on a
budget. Tnx and 73, Michael, W4HIJ _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are
