Decent wire. Does what it's supposed to do.

This is a review of the 100ft coax. Many complaints were regarding the soldering of the center pin of the PL259. Pic's are on the ends of the coax I received. Not the best, I've done worse but I don't sell to others. For the price I am not complaining. I will heat up the centers to ensure the solder is not just at the tip and flows along the pin. A basic continuity check showed no shorts between the center and shield. If I run into issues during use, I will update this review.

This cable is easy to handle and made the installation of my attic antenna a cinch. So far, I have used my radio's diagnosis to check my antenna and it is a match, so the coax works. I will add more when I do an SWR check, but I am happy with the cable.

Works as advertised, fast delivery and quality made.

I purchased this to hope to improve my VHF range lets see if it was worth the cost over standard cable.

Good quality coax. Second purchase of coax from this manufacturer. Will buy again..

Haven't used the cable yet built good for CB radios

I replace a 100ft rg8x cable with this cable. The performance difference was better then I expected. Very well made, and the ends were soldered on. I plan on replacing all my other cables with this one.

Exactly as described and expected. I would purchase again with no reservations.

It seems like good coax. Really stiff but it works.

For station or even QRP rigs, this is great coax cable. I'm really surprised how little loss this is for 50ft. Granted, it does seem to dip at around the ham/CB bands, but it's not too bad. Even if you lose a few watts, it will hardly be noticeable during operation. This coax is also very loose and flexible to store in a backpack.

Solid construction and very clear signal. knowing that I do not have to worry about the quality of construction is important. Radio signals are strong.

This cable is perfect for my needs. I am using it for a scanner and it does its job well. Connectors seem to be of good quality.

I've bought several rolls of this over the past 2 years. Always feedline for smaller projects like tape measure Yagi antennas or roll up J-pole antennas. Usually length is cut to 5 feet and at that short of length it works very well on UHF/VHF with these small projects.

Using this cable between antenna and a surge arrestor - tests on my VNA show SWR of 1.22 in the 2-meter band with a rubber duck antenna.

I'm very satisfied with the choice I made buying these for my CB. The only thing I did different was buy high grade heat shrink. These cables will be exposed to the elements in the state I live in. I placed heat shrink over the entire cable from end to end, not just the part that will be exposed. Let's see how winter goes.

It's coax.. It does its job.. It's nothing special but a good buy for the money..

No complaints, it works well, connects my radio to the antenna and gets assembled and taken down with each use. So far no problems with it and it's been about a month of use. Electrically it's good.

The connectors are excellent, and this cable worked great for my GMRS base station. I would definitely recommend!

Excellent cable for amateur radio. Appears to be very good quality cable and connectors. Just installed it today and had no issues. Will be a repeat customer.

Exactly as described. Very well made just by feel and the increase performance on my aerial confirms

This isn't high dollar cable, but it works fine for what it is. There's a lot of one star reviews by folks who evidently don't understand the basics of RF operation. You should ALWAYS have means to check and monitor your SWR/reflected power during operation. Numerous people here evidently just connected right up to an antenna, assuming everything was up to snuff. Whether you're using $30 or $200 cable, always check your SWR. If you fry a transceiver and didn't check/monitor SWR, you're just as much to blame for negligent operation as the cable is.

I just used this RG8 to run through my shack wall, down the siding and underground through conduit to a vertical antenna. It seems to have very low loss and is holding up great through a variety of northern weather conditions.

Good coax cable ...I like the white cause it blends in better to the house...This is great stuff at a decent price

This coax arrived undamaged and ready to use. I was expecting something a little more like an RG8, but the thickness is more like RG58. I've not done any specific testing except to hook up an antenna and transmit. The SWR is as expected and I'm hitting local repeaters on UHF and VHF. In my opinion that's a pass.

Needed to replace some RG58 coax that was going to my folded dipole antenna used in my ham shack so I got this. Overall the cable seems fine, but I am not convinced that the length was correct. While I did not measure it, other 50 foot cables that make a very similar run tend to have a good 10-15 feet of extra length, so either this was short or the others were long, so this just made the run with very little to spare.

I don't know what the technical differences are between LMR400 and KMR400, but this works just as well as the former while costing 10% less. My GMRS radio only loses about 1/2 watt over 25 feet. It's a bit stiff but so is LMR400.

Used this coax with a J-pole antenna placed about 85 feet from the shack. Low loss, good solder jobs, and just as described.

It gives me a a connection to an antenna port in my camper and it's small enough to be out of sight but available when I need it.

Throughout my ham radio HF experience, I have heard that Times Microwave LMR 400 (Standard) was the best, without a doubt. Well I discovered that the LMR 400 had a higher SWR than this coax. I wrapped the LMR 400 and put it back in the box.

I know some guys have had bad luck with this cable. Perhaps its hit and miss but I got a good one I guess. Pins appear properly soldered and the cable is not stiff. No shorts or open circuits.

A 25' piece did much better than the RG213 it replaced. Using it with a vhf/uhf scanner discone.

I am always skeptical about cables with presoldered PL259 connectors, but these appear to be reasonably well done. The cable itself is fine, and appears free of defect.

It's coax. Checked connections, PL259 works smooth.
