Coax Comparison

I don't think those 16w will make a difference on the receiving end

Agree, but that wasn't the question

Why would you run LMR-400 in a mobile install? You are running what 16' or so? It's not worth it, RG8x or even RG58 is now than adequate even running some power.

For someone with the cable dangling outside their vehicle at 75 miles an hour the lmr-400 won't be flopping around in the Wind like lmr-240 or something thinner. Metal fatigue would make short work of The thinner cable at 75 miles an hour.

Actually it is more like 1.6W to 2.4W for a typical length of coax used in a mobile install.

This should be comparable to ecoflex
