ARR. Not cheap. They do fix them reasonably. Great to deal with.
DEMI if you've got the SMT skillset.

But, I just can not find any. Most of the names I came across must have went out of business because their website are no longer in existence.  Any suggestions out their from you season operators out there? The ones that I got last post I couldn't find. Thanks

I just purchased a M2 leopack antenna system and I was reading about different coax cables to use for low loss. Since I am mounting the antenna only about 10 feet off the ground, 50 foot will be enough to go into the shack. I wanted to purchase RG8x but read that the best way to go is with LMR400. What I dislike about it is that its much wider and very stiff, and will make it difficult around bends. I also have the Az/alt rotator which I will have to loop each antenna to have enough for turns. Any other suggestions out there for an alternative to LMR-400?Thanks Frank KB2CWN
