There is no such thing as the “perfect” coax. Everything depends on the application.
In this video I go through the coax I use for:
– patch leads
– portable operation
– permanent HF installations
– direct-bury runs
– low-loss feeder
– hardline
We also discuss:
– coax loss in the real world
– why 3 dB isn’t always a disaster
– reading coax spec sheets
– bend radius and durability
– branded vs unbranded coax
– connector losses
– HF vs VHF/UHF considerations
Featuring discussion on:
– Messi & Paoloni
– Ultraflex 7
– Hyperflex / ExtraFlex Bury
– Ecoflex 15
– LDF4-50 hardline
– RG58
– RG213
The goal here is practical engineering – not internet mythology.
