Well,
It's about time. I was starting to wonder why you had the VHF
tied into the broadband.

INCOMING! HEAD FOR THE SHELTER!!

It should have read:


"Staggering"? RG-8X would be much better at about the same price.

It's

only a hair bigger diameter, available at any marine store selling
electronics. With a 40' run of RG-8X you still get 75% efficiency.

If you must:

LMR-1700-DB, double-shielded, direct burial, waterPROOF will give you
97.9% at 156.8 for 40' but noone will notice it on the air, only in

your

pocket book at $10/ft plus some pretty impressive connectors. Way
overkill. It's 1 1/4" diameter...not good. RG-6 is better.

The Icom M802 on Lionheart has about 70' of RG-8X to a Metz Manta 6 at
55'. Savannah is 100 miles from here. I hear them all the time and I
know they can hear me because they called me...(c;
