VHF antenna anomaly

I know I may have to pay a couple (maybe more) bux a foot for it, but it's small potatoes in the boatbux equation, and I really don't want to do this again... What I used with great success on my old Cal-34 was RG-142/U. Looking around on Google I just found a place that has it for $1.94/ft (non-MIL spec): http://www.wifi-parts.com/rg142u.html That is a good price in my opinion since some places are charging as much as $5/ft. Here's another source for the MIL spec version at $2.25/ft (over 50 ft): http://www.rfparts.com/coax.html#teflon Looks like they have the non-MIL spec version at $1.80, don't know what the difference is but my experience is with the MIL spec. It is easy to handle although no coax likes really sharp bends. |
