RG58A/U COAX CABLE 3 foot Jumper for CB / Ham Radio - Workman CX-3-PL-PL -Made in the USA

Simple and efficient use

It is an important part of the test gear of my transceiver, if it fails my P.A. will be damaged.

Not having the tools to cut and solder my own connector to the cable I chose to purchase one pre-made. I needed a short 3 foot cable for hooking a meter between the antenna and radio. This worked perfect for my use. It is a smaller diameter flexible cable suitable for indoor use.

Arrived as described

Connected to my radio and the SWR meter just fine (got a SWR of less then 1.1), Im grabbing a couple more to build a poor mans GMRS repeater with a two hand helds and a RPT-2K Two-Way Relay, Ill update again after I hook that up UPDATE: Dropping two-stars from my original review after getting the two new new cables, both cables had issues with the threaded collar either being crooked or missing a spacer (to long), or the rubber boot.. Overall just sloppy assembly.

Does what its supposed to do

Ok

Good bye for the money

It worked acceptably well for three months of occasional use as a patch cable when I needed an SWR meter in line. But despite careful handling something internal broke and now its only a partial connection. I have replaced this with much higher quality 3 coax and have never had a problem. Only worth the trouble if a) you never touch or move it after installation and, b) you must spend the least amount possible. I wont put my radios at risk of damage with cheap coax.
