RG316 jumpers ?

[bevis]

Is there any reason you would not want to use 316 for jumpers on the bench. They are so much easier to deal with than RG400.
I currently use it for BNC jumpers to the SA and the scope but im thinking id like to use it for all my 3ft jumpers on the bench for radio to amp to bird meter chain.
For 11 meters and less than 2kw , i wouldnt think there would be an issue but im no coax expert.
Thoughts ?

Where to get PL259 for this coax?

I used a pl259 and rg400 bushing and it worked well. This video is pretty spot on and it worked well.

No problem. Either do like the video and use some shrink wrap, buy them pre-made or use this adapter.

Bevis,
In all seriousness the RG400 isn’t difficult to work with compared to RG316.

Personally I don’t use RG316 for jumpers where I’ll be pumping 1.5k output. Also you can purchase double shielded RG316.

the 316 i have is DS. I have plenty of 400 to make jumpers with. the 316 just lays against the wall at the back of the bench and behaves. Do you know what that bushing part number is. I dodnt know they existed
