Review on 100ft 30m RG8X Coax Coaxial UHF PL259 Molded & Soldered Connectors Amateur CB Radio Antenna Cable Wire - Enhanced SEO by Ronny Prather

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not just for a good RX, maybe 75 ohms.

Test.Good.Good.8X connectors on both ends.------Poor: This is not quality, all copper strands contain metals, strong shielding. I can't use it over the old coax hi-SWR. When to put the old piece. All other 8X's I've tested don't have magnetic attraction?. After the 2nd roll I would not order anymore. .1st roll thought one needed a real pl 259. The wire was about 75 ohms and a mismatch in the overall RF transmission loss. You need copper with a stranded center wire, this is not the best option but only works for RX 50MHz and below, no transmission possible. I will probably be returning the 2nd in a boxed roll.
