Is Ecoflex 10 now the preferred cable to Westflex 103 and similar? Who stocks it, and connectors, in the UK?

Thanks

David, G4YTL

Hello David

No experience of Ecoflex 10.... but

Ecoflex ~15~ is equivalent (If not better at 432MHz) than FSJ4-50.
It can be a bit of a handful but with care is close to the perfect cable, 
tough and very flexible.
I use it on 432 8x21 contest array and for rotator length 'curly-wurly'.
It stand this sort of punishment!

Note that the (N) connectors are solderless (for Eco15 - at least)
It is not cheap - but you get what you pay for.

Supplier is Diode Communications <http://www.diodecomms.co.uk/>
