User questions & answers

Question:	Looking to use this for vhf/uhf, what is the ohm rating? Loss per 100ft
Answer:	I have been using these pills for quite some time , I posted photos of the difference in the color of the pills yet I have never heard from the company to explain this discrepancy, rather surprising to me in itself. I started using other black seed oil pills and ended up bouncing back and forth between the 2 brands , and I have not noticed a true difference in them at all. I would say no the color does not affect the difference in my opinion yet it would be very interesting and valuable to hear from the manufacturer about this topic. so mush so to say that amazon should step in to request this information that should be addressed by amazing herbs personnel , if amazon allows a company to sell on their sight they should hold the company accountable for any questions pertaining to their products, I find it highly irresponsible on both amazon and the amazing herbs company for not being more proactive in questions about their product and relying on the consumers to step forward and comment on their personal experience..
Question:	Is this cable UV rated for outdoor use
Answer:	I’m 5,8 not 6’ but I don’t have to bend at all. The pad is around elbow height and it’s taller than some others we looked at. We changed in the bassinet and it was killing my back. This was a game changer, easy to assemble and very sturdy.
Question:	Would this work good with scanners
Answer:	Approx 11.5 inches
Question:	can i use this for my mobile cb
Answer:	You should purchase another one. This one is flat and very thin.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this cable be installed underground, that is, buried
Answer:	Cable is approx. 3/16" diameter. The connectors at each end are approx. 1/2"
Question:	Do you have coax. cable with one end with removable pl259 conn
Answer:	Hello Joshua, Thank you for your email. We are very pleased to hear that you are interested in our Black Seed oil! To answer your question(s), our Premium Cold-Pressed Black Cumin Seed oil is pressed from Nigella Sativa seeds that are grown in Turkey. This Black Seed oil generally has a strong taste and the highest level of Thymoquinone on the market (minimum 0.95% up to 2.5% TQ). Thymoquinone(TQ) is the naturally occurring active ingredient found only in Black Cumin Seed oil and has been studied for most of the oil's health benefits. We do not add nor take away anything from the oil. We only cold press the black seeds here in the U.S. once they arrive and put the oil in bottles and softgels. The Egyptian Black seeds (also 100% black cumin seed oil) are sourced and grown in Egypt instead of Turkey. These seeds tend to have a lower TQ content which is why our “Premium Black Seed oil” is more preferred by individuals and health care practitioners for therapeutic purposes. Egyptian Black Cumin Seed oil is milder in taste and has about 1/3 less amount of Thymoquinone (minimum of 0.60 TQ). Both oil types have around 55% Omega 6 and 23% Omega 9% though. Some people prefer the more "mild tasting" Egyptian black seed oil when taking it orally daily because sometimes we do get very high levels of TQ of the Premium, as each lot/batch will always vary in taste and color seeing it is 100% pure and natural. When the levels of TQ are higher, at times it tends to be too strong of a taste for some to take orally daily, so they prefer to stick with our more mild tasting Egyptian and never have to worry about it being too strong for them to take daily. For digestive and general overall health, either oil would be good, but for issues such as immune system support or inflammatory response, the Premium Black Seed oil that has a higher TQ content would be suggested. Our suggested dosage amount is just our general suggested use, not saying that it is the exact amount everyone should use always. Some people use more and less depending upon their condition, age, and/or the advice of a licensed health care physician. We are currently unaware of side effects but and for adults we suggest only taking our Black Seed with food and use anywhere between ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon twice a day. We also suggest you start with a half a teaspoon per day and gradually build up to the two teaspoons over a period of 1-2 weeks to allow the body to get used of the oil. You can continue with the two teaspoons for as long as you need it or many people will reduce the dosage amount after two to three months to a maintenance dosage of half teaspoon, twice daily after this point. Note* Black Seed oil is a dietary supplement and the dosage amounts are anecdotal and results may vary from person to person. It is our responsibility to advise customers that if they have a serious medical condition, they should seek the advice of a licensed medical professional. We hope this answers your question(s). If we can be of any further assistance in the meantime, please do not hesitate to let us know. have a great day, Lina, customer care
Question:	What color is it white or grey
Answer:	Nothing buy the less expensive one. May come from different seller.
Question:	Has it been used for ham radio
Answer:	I couldn't really speak to this if the dosage strength is the same the company should come forward to address this question.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this cable flexible enough to coil a 5" choke, or is a separate choke required due to cable stiffness
Answer:	Yes it can be but only at short lengths. Before you can fully answer the question it’s important to know what kind of antenna is being used and how far away will the antenna be. It’s all about losses. For example if your antenna has 10db gain and your cable loss is 5db then you will still have gain. Conversely if your antenna has 3db gain and your cable loss is 5db then your whole system will have a loss and therefore any advantage of having a gain antenna will be lost. There are several coaxial cables that are designed to have minimum loss at UHF frequencies and they are usually very large and expensive.
Question:	Can your lmr 400 ultra-flex coax be buried in pvc pipe if the end/conections are waterprofed
Answer:	Quality appears to good. I would reorder if needed.
Question:	Is this lmr also multiband uhf vhf hf too
Answer:	My VNA shows 2.74 dB loss at 151 Mhz. Very flat there with a hump near 170 Mhz. I buy cable to use making short jumpers from antenna tuner to antenna. HCL
Question:	Will this work with my Sirio discone, and uniden scanner for police
Answer:	50 feet give or take

Manufactured by MPD Digital

Times cable assemblies are manufactured in Albany, GA, USA. to the Highest Quality Standards.

MPD Digital cable technicians are FCC Licensed Amateur (Ham) Radio Operators and cable assemblies are tested using Bird SiteHawks.

LMR-195

LMR-195 Coax is the same size as RG-58 & RG-316. Constructed for use up to 10 GHz, LMR195 makes a great cable for short runs at WiFi and Cellular frequencies and is equally suited for runs up to 100 feet for HF and VHF use. For CB, HF, and VHF antennas LMR-195 is Far Superior to RG-58.

The PE jacket used on LMR-159 makes it much tougher and able to stand abrasion and take a beating. It also makes it a bit less flexible than RG-58.

LMR-240

LMR-240 Coax is the same size as RG-8x or Mini-8 cable, about 1/4 inch in diameter. Although it is just a bit larger than LMR-195, LMR240 offers a significantly larger center conductor and supports better signal retention for longer cable runs and higher frequency use.

LMR-240 is an excellent cable for runs up to 25-30 feet in WiFi and Cellular use, and provides superior performance for HF/UHF/VHF installation up to 150 feet. The PE jacket used on LMR-240 makes it much tougher and able to stand abrasion and take a beating. It also makes it a bit less flexible than similar sized RG Type coax.

LMR-400

The First and still the Best! LMR-400 Coax is the same size as RG-8U or RG-213 cable, .405 inches in diameter. A larger cable means a much larger center conductor and supports better signal retention for HF/VHF/UHF and higher frequency use. Like all LMR cables the PE Jacket and Dual Shield eliminates the need for conduit and avoiding electrical sources.

LMR-400 is an excellent cable for runs up to 50-70 feet in WiFi and Cellular use, and provides superior performance for HF/UHF/VHF installation up to 250 feet. The PE jacket used on LMR-400 makes it much tougher and able to stand abrasion and take a beating. It also makes it a bit less flexible.

When You Just Need It to Work

Coax is deceptively simple! In reality the tolerances and purity of the Conductor, Dielectric, and Shield are critical in making a cable last.

MPD Digital cables are Warrantied for 10 years for simple reason. They Work and Last! Indoor, Outdoor, and Specialty Applications are all supported.

When Communication is Critical

The right cable and manufacturing techniques are Critical when you expect a communications cable to function at 100% of it's Rated Capacity.

MPD Digital Cables are one of the choice for critical communications. Current customers include the US Coast Guard, NOAA, NASA, Police and Fire Departments and the US Army and Marine Corps.

When You Need to Make Contact

Whether you are operating at high power for DX or enjoy the challenge of QRP operation, MPD Digital manufactures a cable assembly to meet your needs.

We have cable assemblies and jumpers that will assure the lowest signal loss at 5 Watts and others that will support power levels up to 15 Kw.

When You Need to Comunicate from Off-Grid

Cable assemblies designed for Maximum Signal, Direct Exposure and Portability are a specialty. Cables are built Tough to handle abrasion and the strain of frequent movement.

MPD Digital manufactures cables for Outdoor, Marine, and portable use. Jumpers and Antenna cables are available for All types of remote communication needs.

The MPD Digital Brand - Albany GA

For Federal purchasing credit MPD Digital is Veteran Owned, Woman Owned, Small Business and operates in the Albany Hub Zone. MPD Digital cable assemblies meet all requirements of the Buy USA Act.

Sometimes MPD Digitals US Made RG Coax Works Better

We had a customer run 10,000 Watts of Power at 800 MHz. The cable failed. While we have coax cable made for up to 20 Kw, its not LMR.

Avoid Repeated Flexing and Bending

LMR comes in different versions, standard LMR is the most used, but has a solid center conductor. If you need a cable for a rotor, or installation where the cable will be bending up to 90 degrees often during use we build cables using LMR Ultra Flex.

LMR UltraFlex coax or PVC jacketed braided RG Coax is the go to cable for ultimate flexibility!

User questions & answers

Question:	is this considered a/u
Answer:	Bought 2 both grey one was good one was not!
Question:	Can i use this for my tv
Answer:	Yes, I am currently using a 100ft of it with a full-size loop on 75 meters (240ft length) and 1500 watts SSB. If you keep the SWR below 3:1 there should be no problems. If using a mode with continuous carrier it should probably be de-rated to 1000 watts for reliability.W3SYH, Nuclear Physicist

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work on the baofeng uv-5rx
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does this cable work with the DM-5R
Answer:	Hello, This coax will work as long as your discone and scanner have the UHF female SO239 connectors for the connector type. The PL259 male connectors are installed on this coax and will mate to the UHF SO239 connector. Kindest Regards, MPD Digital
Question:	Will this work for uv5ra
Answer:	Direct burial is NOT recommended. The insulation between the center conductor and shield is foam. A rock could put pressure on the cable forcing the shield to contact the center conductor thus shorting out the coax. You could pull it thru PVC conduit (with care) but if you want direct burial I would use good quality RG-8 with polyethylene dialectic rather than foam. BTW, all RG-8X is foam. Even if you bury RG-8 poly make sure there are not nicks in outer jacket. If water gets in it will ruin the coax.
Question:	How do I download software disc does not work
Answer:	Due to Amazon's listing Policies, we are unable to alter the listing. However, you may contact us toll-free @ 1-888-624-0480 and we can customize your order to any specified length and/or cable/connector combination. Thanks.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many watts are these rated for
Answer:	I would order directly from baofeng's web site. To get the proper cable.
Question:	Works with SO239 Connectors
Answer:	This one worked (briefly) for me whereas the cheap one didn't. I eventually successfully programmed my UV-5R after finding and downloading the correct drivers. (The Miklor site is incorrect/misleading regarding drivers for XP.) However, a few weeks later I tried to upload a change to my radio and got the dreaded "radio didn't respond" error message. I had changed nothing on my computer or radio or cable. Much sleuthing ensued. Drivers seemed ok. Windows told me "device is working properly." All to no avail. I have tried everything. I have an electrical engineering degree and have been messing with computers since 1964. I am at a dead end. If you're going to attempt to program a Baofeng radio using Chirp software and this cable, or any cable, please prepare yourself for a long, frustrating and perhaps ultimately unsuccessful enterprise. This is a terribly buggy and unreliable system.
Question:	Is this cable 50 ohm or 75 ohm? Thank you
Answer:	I do not believe LMR-400 is flexible enough for a 5" choke. I had some difficulty getting it through the wall of my "ham shack/office" where I needed to bend it to about a 8-10" radius. Having said that, I used this cable temporarily with a homemade J-Pole, and used RG-8/U for the coil. This worked well until I replaced the antenna.
Question:	Is this really for ham use (50 ohm) or is it for CB use (traditional 75ohm
Answer:	Sure, any of our coax applications can be used in conduit. I guess the real question would be why spend the extra funds for Ultra Flex and make it non-flexible? This listing for standard LMR-400 will work perfectly in that application. We also have Direct Burial should you need that application. Thanks, Ray N1MPD

Sometimes you really Need our Times LMR Cable Assemblies

Using a RG-58 jumper for a 5 GHz WiFi Antenna will reduce your signal by around 1 DB per Foot. RG-8x is a bit better and RG-213 is specified for some very short runs by a few manufacturers but Times Microwave LMR cables were designed for high frequency communication and will work best.

For GPS, Cellular or SatPhone Services

RG cable was designed for use at UHF and lower frequencies. Using an RG- jumper of any type on a Satellite Phone or GPS Antenna is like mounting bicycle tires on a sports car. RG cables fair little better for Cell Antennas. Cellular phones lowest broadcast signal is twice as high as RG coax is rated and ranges up to 4 times the specified frequency ratings.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this cable ok to bury
Answer:	Dear friend, this PL-259 Jumper Cable is usually used in Ham Radio Transceiver, Antenna Analyzer, Radio Scanner, SWR METER, CB Radio. If you want to use it in modem / router, you have to check if there is SO239 interface on your device, if it is, it is suitable.
Question:	Is the center conductor on this cable solid or stranded
Answer:	It should fit the connector in the back, however I am not 100% positive as I have never worked with a Scanner before just my few CB’s I’ve owned.
Question:	The frequncy is a huge factor in calculating loss. i'm showing that per 100 ft of lmr-400 the loss should be around 2.5db @ 265 mghz
Answer:	"Tri-band" is ambiguous. 10, 11, 12? 10, 15, 20? 2 Meters, 450, and 1.2 GHz? The signal loss from a piece of coax gets worse the higher the frequency, so the frequencies are not something you want to leave ambiguous when you're asking about coax loss. @TCG -- Y'know, ALL morse code tests were removed from ALL Ham radio license tests in February 2007. (So, the thousands of people using Morse code today are doing it because they love it, not because they were forced into it.) No-code makes getting a Ham license a magnitude easier. And of course, the question pools for the written tests are "public domain," so you can see all the answers all over the internet when you're "studying." Recommend googling "arrl licensing education training" Written tests are given by Ham radio clubs, so taking a test is a good way to meet your local club. Also, RG-8X is only slightly thicker than RG-58, but has almost as low loss as RG-8. 100 feet of RG-58 give about 3 dB attenuation at 50 MHz, so 1 foot has about 0.03 dB loss around 50 MHz, less around 10 meters, so I wouldn't worry about it for such a short jumper. However, 800 watts is a lot. Apparently, it's OK on RF-58 with low SWR, but it will arc at 800 watts with higher SWRs. It's an interesting measurement, to see what's the SWR on the coax between the radio and the amplifier. Some amplifier designs are better than others at providing 50 ohm loads on their inputs.
Question:	Is there an option to put UHF connectors on instead
Answer:	This worked with my UV-82HP, but it did not work with the BF-888s. I have five BF-888s radios and it does not work on any of them.
