Personally I would use times microwave lmr400. Although rg213 is a standard in many places. It predominantly was used by the United States military, due to its double silver shield. It does have less than rg58, but also it's considerably heavier. And if you're stringing cables up a few hundred feet on a tower. Wait becomes a concern, also there is more LMR 400 in LMR 400 made every year than rg213. And is also generally available easily on the internet. You get the power handling and lost characteristics of essentially half inch heliax, without the weight and complexity., there's also LMR 240, which is a RG58 roughly sized coax that has about the same loss Factor as rg213.
Thanks for your input on the cables. Always appreciated. I have had a few people talk about Lmr cables. They are great and solve a lot of problems. In many cases though the cost for small operators is not worth it. For a small community radio station simply turning up the transmitter power fixes any losses and the installation is simple enough with most setups being less than a thousand watts. Many as low as 100 watts. So they don't really see the value in it. On big professional set ups yeah its almost a no brainer. But for a station using a 250 watt transmitter into a two stack antenna set up 30 meters up needing only an erp of 200 watts its not even on their list to have LMR cables. But it's always good for new people to learn about the cable options. Cheers :)
😂 wow had a grate laugh watching this thanks on vhf fm i would rather say use atleast lmr400 or better or the heliax range of coax dont even waste time or money onRg58 or Rg213 also never bend coax at a hard 90 degree angle if you run high power the centre conductor wil get hot and melt the insulator between the center conductor and the screen and cause a short and that wil damage your equipment
Glad you enjoyed the video even if you laughed at it lol. Yes for high power stations with long cable runs lmr range of cables are the way to go but for small radio stations with antennas only 20 meters high and putting out 100 Watts or so Lmr and heliax cables can be a bit if an expensive over kill. I know my channel has a mixture of professional and beginner viewers but beginners are very unlikely to want to spend on Lmr or heliax. They also don't really need it. But glad you enjoyed it anyway :)
