I just was reading attenuation charts and noticed low loss RG58 from Times Microwave (LMR-200.) It has the attenuation of standard grade RG8X (about 1.7db/100ft @27MHz) but way higher power handling (1.08KW/100ft.) I am considering using it for a mobile install and Times Microwave's site claims 1.5KW Ave power handling for an 18ft run. With performance like this, and I found a place selling it for $0.49/ft why don't I hear about more people using it?
