Advanced Receiver Research has the most cost effective mast-mounted RF
switched preamps.

SSB Electronics' line of preamps might be better, but are more expensive.

wrote:   Hello everyone. 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
