Tuner-Amp Coax

[Lee Boulineau]

Ditto Glen's comment - RG-8/X is much better than
RG-58/U, and is still easy to work with - I use it
between all my rigs and amps! I do use RG-213/U from
the amps to the antennas though, and would reccomend
it instead of RG-8/X - especially for runs longer than
100 feet - mainly because 10m losses can start to be
significant under some circumstances.
