Hi,
Just a comment on the M2 2800 pulses lines. YES - please use coax for ANY
size run. I had about a 190 foot run and had nightmares until I replaced my
HD Belden with coax. And regarding the COMMSCOPE I have some that is the
same as LMR400. I think you can look up the COMMSCOPE number with a google
search if you can find the part number on the coax and then find out its
specifics.

Subject: [TowerTalk] need help on using some free coax
I was given a couple partly filled spools (~24" diam) of what appears to be
75 ohm coax. The only identification is COMMSCOPE on the coax and
Migraheal on the spool. It has braid wrapped over foil with a very sticky
substance between them and also to the foam.around the center coax. The
jacket is quite thick and not very pliable.
I tried soldering to the braid and to the foil without much success. The
sticky stuff is hard to work with. I don't know if this coax is good for RF
but am planning on using it to bring the M2 2800 rotator pulses back from
the tower which requires a 400' run.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
