Hello Easter bunny, 213 is a good coax, but might i recomend a Rg-217 coax. It is VERY strong and very good, i would jump over to that if you pocket will let you, it is $1.34 a foot (not bad) but not 30 cents either!

The best I have used is "BuryFlex" by Davis RF. About $.60 cents a foot. Used with standard PL259's too. Check it out at

www.davisrf.com It is very flexible and so durable it can be buried, very low loss also.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
