Does this cable have any issues on 440? Another brand uses the old definition of "UHF" and has issues with 440. Want to make sure this doesn't.

You need to be more specific. Issues? I don't kow what you are referring to. 440 is a frequency range in the UHF band. That's all. The cable is designed to all you the use of a more effective antenna, hence the 259 adapter. Your choice of antenna should take into account the frequency you plan to use so that the most efficient antenna may be purchased. I hope this helps.dj, KJ6WSV

- Wilson 400 cable is a 50 ohm cable and is not designed to work with the 460101 system. If the directional antenna you purchased has a Type N connector then that antenna is a 50 ohm antenna as well, and is not designed to work as an outdoor antenna with this system.. RG6, 75 ohm, cable is the only approved cable.. Just use good quality RG6 and you should be fine, but use an outside antenna with a Type F connector. If you cable run from inside to outside is excessively long, I believe RG11 would be a more appropriate cable, but I would stay with RG6 unless you are over 100 ft plus. Unless you are using a different Wilson system that what you commented on...Some did use 50 ohm cable in and out..

I've had the 100' cable working for probably close to a year now. It has never failed to work. Make sure you haven't reversed the cable recently since it will only boost signal in one direction.

I have not yet but have only been using it for about a month. I've purchased other brand cables in the past and work for several months before receiving that message. So far so good with this cable. Time will tell..

I believe using 100 feet of it might be somewhat lossy on UHF and VHF, I use a short length(6ft) for a handytalky dual bander antenna in my bedroom, if I were to mount on top of the roof, I'd get the larger(not rg58 lol) and better coax to go vhf/uhf with that long of a run. Quality coax is like quality tools, work better/last longer. I suggest a quick call to HRO and get their advice.

according to the mfg,"max gain uhf 10.4 dBi, vhf 3.1 dBi." You can also contact Antennas Direct: their customer service is quite good.

I have had no problem with mine. I have been using the unit almost a year and no issues. Have you tried a different cable?

Don't know about the others, this one is very good. Bought it for my aunt who lived far out in the country. She could view stations over 100 miles away. UHF or VHF, I think they're all digital now anyway.

The difference of bandwidth.If you have another UHF equipment, you should think about the bandwidth.

It seems more flexible than CATV RG6 to me. That could be due to the dielectric used.It's audio cable. Should be 75 ohms.

Ah! Well, I've used it with 30 and 50 watt VHF and UHF TX. When I bought it, a fellow ham warned me about some of them being quite noisy, but I have had no issues at all. For its size and price, it does a great job!de WJ8I

Yep.. This is the one I bought and it works fine. I do recommend a newer antenna to attach to this cable as it seems a little lossy but it works fine with an antenna with good gain.

antennas direct website is now selling an add on for uhf antennas to receive vhf. it's the part that's on the clearstream 2v and I receive channel 6 from 42 miles away with the clearstream 2

wrong jerry...a lot of UHF programming is switching back to the VHF signal range after june. Its cheaper to power those wavelengths. Check out TVfool.com to see what the new channels will be in your area after june...you will probably see some of them actually switching to VHF. Might want to fish that antenna out of the trash....

It was marketed a RCA. From what I understand either works. Its a matter of shielding. I am running this cable next to six other cables without problems.

Ohhhh okay. Yes i have that cable. Hold off a second on buying it. I believe i had issues as well. Let me just double check it soons i reach home :)

Sorry, I didn't keep the packaging, but this is probably avail on their website. For what it's worth, I'm ~50 miles from the transmitters, my antenna is in my second floor attic, and it works great. Not perfect - occasionally I get what presents itself like packet loss, but it's pretty rare. I'm glad I dumped cable. My .02. Good luck.
