[amsat-bb] Where best to purchase LMR-240UF in the US?

[Thomas Schaefer]

Get yourself a Tessco Account (tessco.com). It is free and they sell real LMR-240UF for $0.83 a foot. You do pay shipping and tax but still cheaper than 1.08 a foot with DXEngineering’s free shipping. I buy all my cables and connectors from Tessco. They carry the full RF Parts connector line as well as real Times Microwave connectors (which I use for tower side connectors). They have a very useful catalog system on their website too.

The RF Connection price is quite good at $0.86 a foot as that is just 3 cents more than Tessco (you still pay shipping).
