Never ran that much thru rg6u quad shield. have run consistantly 150 watts thru it when i owned a QRO rig.
good for you. I buy mine thru either walmart or homedepot or menards depending on when they have a sale. i buy the twist on connections . I dont like the crimps since they are prone to sharp edges if crimped wrong and be a point of possible interference? and moisture.I also seal mine with a caulking friendly to the coax.
The 1:5 on my ubitxs are no problem either . All my rigs have rg6u quad shield from start to finish and i have rg6u jumpers with twist on connectors for testing ,etc.What i dont spend on the rg8x,i can splurge on good f to pl259 fittings,and extra cable in case i have a blowout or something else.All my feeds are buried ,run thru 1/2" pvc so if i need to replace a feedline,just tie onto it with new cable and pull.
WOW Again on the 800 watts thru it
