Exactly what I ordered plus an inch!
Everything about this USA made jumper was exactly what I wanted. Even better, the full length was 19 inches instead of 18. The ends are securely crimped to the coax sheath and covered in heat shrink tubing. The solder on the center pin was well done on both ends, neither globby nor hollow. I received it just as scheduled, maybe even a day early. And the price was better than my own time would have cost. I’m very satisfied.

Great cable for the money, would make an excellent portable hardline
I’m using this as my permanent hardline from my vertical to my window pass through for HF. It’s solid, and it’s holding up very well. I’ve made multiple contacts on it in excess of 4000 miles with excellent signal reports. I buried part of it using a conduit run and have had no issues with moisture. I’d buy it again if I need another long run. I didn’t see any great losses on it and I’m getting a 1.04:1 on 40m barefoot. I wasn’t getting that good on the previous run of RG-58 I changed from.

Quality connectors and flexible coax
This is an impressive combination of flexible coax and good quality connectors. All the work has been done for us. I'm getting great results on 10-160m feeding my dipole with this coax. Mine is laying on the ground and is hoisted into the tree so we'll see how the years of harsh Midwest weathers affect the performance. For now, I couldn't be happier! Update: After two years in use, I’ve had no problems. I took down my antenna last fall for a checkup and all connectors are clean and tight as a drum. The coax lying on the ground during this past few years is not showing any signs of wear or degradation. Okay, I’m impressed.

ECP-RG8X 25’ Coax Cable
I have been a ham for over 50 years and bought two 25’ runs of this coax for portable use. The cable seems okay, the connector soldering is good and the heat shrink is also good. The cable itself is marked RG8X and made in the USA. Pictures show the coax loss with an MFJ 269 Antenna Analyzer. It appears to be good cable and will find out for sure when I give it a test in the field. DE W4TL

Easier to use than regular RF mini 8 coax.
I bought this coax because my RF mini 8 coax suffered a kink and was internally shorted because It was wound to tight around a sharp bend. This coax is much more flexible and slightly smaller in diameter, so it is much easier to install than regular RF mini 8. There are claims that RF 8x outperforms RF mini 8 in signal loss and noise reduction. I'm not sure about all that but it does outperform RF mini 8 in ease of installation and it works great for my setup.

Amazon tells me my product may be lost, but, hey. One end is attached to my antenna and the other end to my radio. Easy to find…
