As I am getting close to completing my new antenna array (a pair of 14-element InnovAntenna XPOL yagis) I wanted to make sure I had the best possible cable to connect my antennas to my station. Of course, in my opinion, there is ONLY ONE choice for that - Messi & Paoloni from Italy. If you visit their website you will see a pop-up showing that you can now purchase their products from GIGAPARTS and BUY TWO WAY RADIOS. However, since I have made several purchases of custom cables direct from M&P, I chose to do that again.
Instead of buying a standard length of a particular cable, I ordered cables to fit the place where I needed them and, I had their best quality "N-Male" connectors SOLDERED on to the ends of the cable. Since my station is already using the ULTRAFLEX 10/.400" cables to run from the LNA's to the LinkRF IQ+ dual channel receiver, I chose that same cable for my jumpers from the Power Dividers to the T/R relay. I also purchased a couple of 3-foot jumpers for use in the shack.
I placed the order on August 31 and received all the cables on September 6, 2022 - less than a week from Italy! It would have been even sooner but the Labor Day weekend intervened. Below you can see 2 of the cables I ordered (a 1m and a 4m) complete with the "Test Results" for each cable! AWESOME!
