Hey guys, maybe somebody should take the trouble to change the subject line when
the discussion isn't about the 480 and 2000 any longer.
I just did.
But, it would be nice for those of us who group messages and don't necessarily
read every message.

Are you thinking about rg174? It is small but I thought it was lossy.

it seems to me that I remember hearing about a specific UHF coax that is
used for anything from 800 and up...a rather small diameter, but nearly
lossless...
