Lets see Andrews 1/4 hardline at 200 ft vs Beldon 8214 at 200 ft. Which cable has the least loss at 14.025Mhz with a power input of 100 watts and a SWR of 1:1:1 ?? |

Paul, here is an easy to read spreadsheet chart I put together a while back for Andrew 'Heliax', Belden 'Radio Grade (RG) Type' and Times Micorwave Systems 'LMR' coaxial cables and their specifications so you can see them all in one place. Larry |

This specification gives a loss of .5 dB/100 ft for Beldon 8214 at 10 MHz. This data sheet gives a loss of .38 dB/100 ft for Andrews 1/4 LDF1-50 at 10 MHz. I am not sure that is the hardline you are asking about, but their flex-line has a different part number it looks like. So over 200 ft you are looking at a difference of .24 dB - not enough to worry about. The Beldon specification didn't give a power rating. The andrews cable is rated at a peak power of 12 kW. |
