I'm ready to order a custom made cable. (The Antenna Farm) for my solar powered GMRS repeater shack. My pole is going to be a 21' x 2" black steel pipe attached to the side of the shack.
Their is a significant difference in price between the Commscope vs RFS yet the RFS seems to have better numbers .778 db vs .753 db loss @ 450mhz.
Is their some reason why I would pay $1.90 per foot more for Commscope?
Also suggestions on how to get the cable into the shack considering the Min. Bending Radius is 10". Should I transission to a more flexible cable at the entry point, if so what cable should I use for this. Should there be a drip loop?
