Hi Jason, Have had the Hyperflex 10 outside for three years now without any signs of degradation. Used it to replace all my aging coax. Bought 250 ft from MFJ when they became the US dealer. Still have about 100 ft left. Stay safe and enjoy Hamvention. 73 WJ3U

that's what I have in my Jeep, Messi & Paoloni Extraflex Bury 7 with M&P connectors

[@chrissewell1608]

Military & Police Coax! Sweet!

[@royrobinson4636]

Yes, tons of valuable coax info and comparisons. Looks like M&P is making a fantastic product. 😎

[@BorisEkner]

When, as I, we only have less than 5W from the handheld (HT) to the roof antenna of the car minimizing the loss from the radio to the antenna becomes incredibly important, because there is zero wiggle room for errors. In this situation getting the best cable & connectors available from radio to antenna becomes paramount no matter the length of the cable. We are lucky there is a manufacturer like M&P who has found a niche where they survive. Despite my tiny support, I will happily support them in any way I can, because it is companies like M&P that makes a huge difference for clients like me.

[@Gear4outdoor]

Great explanations. I will revisit this vid before my next cable purchase.

[@kougan3126]

FINALLY!!! Thank you for translating most of all that mumbo jumbo spec stuff from M&P web site and from Gigaparts web site into something a total clueless newb as myself can somewhat understand. I've been craving something like this FOREVER, after hearing how M&P is the best but have been frustratingly oblivious as to why. I'm too new and unable to decipher and comprehend the spec information's technical language meaning and how it applies.

[@davidquackenbush3957]

It is really good cable! But is only as good as the connectors. I installed a 75’ run on my tower 10/1/22 of Extraflex bury 13 premium .500 started having issues with my repeater right away! I bought this cable preassembled complete with M&P connectors installed. Basically took 7 months from minor issues to complete take the tower down failure! The punch line is this…the connectors were not installed properly when I ordered it! I bought new connectors and installed them myself! The repeater has never worked better! This product is awesome! Less any human error you won’t regret buying this cable!

[@otrdriver6767]

That was very educational thank you..

[@HamRadio2]

Thanks

[@Starlite4321]

Not a bit surprised to find you recognizing this amazing coax and rating it the best. I have Hyperflex 10 and Hyperflex 13 in various runs and it's absolutely the best coax I've ever seen in almost 60 years of ham radio. I've purchased from Gigaparts and factory direct with Stefano for odd length assemblies. Their version of a PL-259 connector is their own unique design and is outstanding as well. Amazingly inexpensive considering the quality. The support is second-to-none as well as you described.

[@alvarogaitan2529]

ok Micke thanks 73 good job

I wonder if this antenna will work for GMRS? glass mount antenna Tram 1192

[@uzibeatle]

Hey, hoping you can review the actual product they have that looks very interesting to me. One the Silicon Shrink (seal) Tubing they sell and two the right angle SO239 connector for .400 cable and if you have luck getting that to work with Times Microwave LMR400 or the DX Engineering equivalent. Both of those products are getting me all warm and fuzzy just looking at them. Especially the right angle connector. Bummer that LMR240 is just too 'oddball' a size for their .212 and .287 diameter coax connectors as LMR240 I have measures out at .235 to .240. I sent them a email enquring if perhaps I could force the .212 to fit.

[@halledwardb]

Boy I'm thinking of lmr 900 or helix for my uhf and gmrs stuff. Losses too high with other stuff.

[@ghostrider196319]

So what would you use to throw up a tree for a handheld, needs to be packable.

[@bradrachielles7890]

😂so what about connectors, are special sizes required for each size coach?

[@HamRadio2]

Yes, same as any coax

[@wheelersecuritygroup]

Which of those cables are best for GMRS home rig?

[@HamRadio2]

Ultraflex 7 or Hyperflex 7

[@wheelersecuritygroup]

I appreciate the info I went ahead and ordered some cable from them today. Thank you so much

[@DominicMazoch]

ABR is my go to. Made in local shop in Houston not far from me. Have not had any issues with it. In fact it is the company Harris County of Emergency Management uses. And H-Town's heat, humidity, pollution and salt air are hard on antenna systems.

[@JaredRoderick]

Think I’m just as confused if not more confused. LOL

[@full_metal2452]

Is it pronounced “Palomi” like you do?

[@HamRadio2]

It is pronounced "pa-lo-nee" like I say it and like it is spelled.

[@full_metal2452]

@@HamRadio2 I’ve watched and enjoyed tons of your videos and most likely going to order 50’ of Airborne 10 tonight. I thought maybe I was just hearing it wrong all this time.😂 I just turned CC on to see what it shows when you say it and guess what it shows 🤣

[@HamRadio2]

@@full_metal2452 It isn't an English word so I am probably saying it wrong, anyway :0

[@extreme978]

I'm just wondering, do you youtubers work for the same guy, or are you independent?

[@matthewdavies2057]

All I care is, is it significantly lower loss than 50 feet of my current Belden 213? If not, who cares?

[@ve3cwq47]

No offense Jason but this video is essentially just a 13 minute ad for M&P coax. Claiming it's the best coax on the market is a pretty bold claim, especially when it seems to be based solely on their own published numbers as opposed to a reference to objective empirical data.

[@MessiPaoloniSRLAncona]

Hello Sir! We recently uploaded Lab Test videos of each cable of our range, testing 3 differents lots for each coil. I think you could find interesting the whole procedure and the results. Wish you a nice day! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5vCY3h9o6usock

[@HamRadio2]

I believe it to be the best, or at least in the top 3. If it is an Ad for the coax, so what? What is the problem with that? I am giving you my honest opinion about the product - it is then on you to decide to buy it or not. If you have been watching my channel for any amount of time, you should know that I only recommend products that I believe in. You can either believe me and continue watching, or you can choose to go elsewhere. If you continue watching my channel, but seldom believe what I say, then you kind of lose some credibility in my mind - seems like a troll move. I don't know which description above applies to you, I hope you are listening to my honest opinion, but at the end of the day it is still your choice on what and what not to buy.

[@dbrown8785]

At the end of the day all product manufacturers provide their own datasheets.

[@1vester1]

how much you want to spend get some hard line. :) ldf4 for shack antenna connectors little $$$ will last a long time KD5RCH

Very true
