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.

It is small but I thought it was lossy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin McDonald" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 5:24 PM Subject: Re: TS480 and TS2000 comparison needed for HF 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... 73 Colin, V A6BKX ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Miller" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 1:11 PM Subject: Re: TS480 and TS2000 comparison needed for HF > I'm not sure what they're using mobile, 1 guy I know has LMR400 in a very > short run.
