XRDS KMR 400 UHF Coax Cable - 75FT, PL-259 UHF Male, Low Loss 50 ohm CB Cable for Ham Radio, Two-Way Radio, SWR Meter

Since my analyzer was out on loan, I approached this 25 foot length of coax with a comparison test with another of the same length, size, and impedance.Since the velocity factor of the cable was not given, that fact induced me to do this simple but effective comparison test.I attached a this 25 foot length of cable to my 80 Watt two meter transceiver via the power, standing wave meter. The antenna output was sent through the coax under test to a 50 ohm dummy load. The test revealed that the loss was negligible. For the same power in to the the dummy load the loss was only about 1 watt. Keep in mind that this was only an A/B comparison test.There was no change in the VSWR. That is to be expected and also a good sign.The next step was to hookup another one 25 foot length of coax line from a well known and respected manufacturer. The results were so nearly identical it was really difficult to judge which cable was the winner. Suffice to say, the test results satisfied me that the coax is of comparable quality and represents an excellent value.I also closely visually examined the attachment of the PL 259. Nice neat clean blob of solder visible at the hole of the center pin. No telltale evidence of rosin that could be the result of a cold joint.O forcefully moved the cable back and forth while in a key down mode to test for any breaks. Things were rock solid with no change in the power output or the VSWR.I am quite satisfied that this is a good low loss feed line at a modest price for a one hundred foot length.Another value bonus. The PL-259 connectors are preinstalled. For all, I am giving this item a FULL FIVE STARS.I hope you can get that whopper of a wide spaced beam up there and can work some DX.A couple of days ago Six was open till almost Ten PM. Good DX contacts.In my opinion this coax should serve you well, and It is designed to get high power to that antenna.Been there done that, for sure.

THIS COAX IS EQUAL TO ABOUT THE BEST COAX MONEY CAN BUY. HOW IT'S MADE, THE QUALITY OF IT, EVEN THE CONNECTORS ARE BUILT RIGHT. IT IS VERY LOW LOSS FROM RADIO TO ANTENNA, SO ALL YOUR WATTS YOUR TRANSMITTING ARE EXITING OUT THRU YOUR ANTENNA DUE TO HOW THIS COAX IS INSULATED. NO LOSS MEANS BETTER TRANSMIT AND GREAT RECEIVE. IF WHEN I MAY NEED TO REPLACE IT I WILL PURCHASE THIS AGAIN BUT I CANT SEE THAT HAPPENING, UNLESS I GET HIT WITH LIGHTNING. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERANCE ON YOUR RECEIVE AND YOU WILL GET MORE CONTACTS BECAUSE OF THE VERY LOW LOSS OF YOUR POWER VIA THIS COAX GOING OUT. OK THEN,CONSIDER THIS COAX IF YOU WANT THE BEST. 73'S--027TAMPABAY..

Using it for my mobile setup running it to my 102 inch steel whip good quality functions as intended

Bought this cuz I needed a low-loss V/UHF cable with next day shipping. Good quality construction, nice connectors & shrink wrap, cleanly installed. Fairly stiff. My first 0.4" dia. coax, it's big stuff! A good value, if it specs out (havent measured). Unfortunately no specs posted by seller or I'd rate 5 stars, but did find some elsewhere. K8MRD posted a detailed YouTube review of this cable with measured specs that were pretty good: only a little more loss than true LMR400. (Search YT for "K8MRD KMR400" to find it.) [Wanted to buy some RG-8X from this seller today but they didn't have any with PL-259s, just SMA and N connectors...]

KMR Coax is the best I have ever used … very low loss. Swr with Retevis Antenna was 1.12. Very good for the price. Using on base and our repeater.

Looks great looks like it will hold up well. Exactly what I ordered

This cable is THICK and hard to bend but its what i needed for my ham radio

Replaced the RG-58X on the VHF/UHF base antenna and I can really see the difference in transmit and receive. Repeaters I couldn't connect to now I can hit at full quieting. It is stiff compared to the RG58X but it is permanent base application.

Excelente cable con conectores, muy recomendable

Oui c'est bon

Grosseur du câble pas conventionnel
