I personally use HOA Buster, HexTenna and Mil 2.0

I've used mine for a while now. I enjoy it and have not had any issues with the reliability of it.

[Bluescout]

I have had one for years. I think it is a great idea. Works well and has been in use for 6 years. I would highly recommend one. I plan on getting more in the future.

[gaptastic]

I've used this for many years. Works well!! While it starting to separate still works, but got tired of using it, so made my own window pass through using a 2x4 (sealed and painted nice). I like my new option better only cause I have four connectors to the outside, so now I can test different antennas.

I've had two for a few years. They work great in my Sliding Door and Sash Window. My Swing Doors a tight, so I haven't tried them yet. I got mine at R+L when they go on the Daily Sale periodically.

Thank you so much for this. I was following you on Tic Tok. Glad I found you here.

I have 3 of a different make than yours and, like you say, I can now bring in 3 cables from my 3 antennas (40m EFLW, 1/4 wave for 10m, and the 3rd for the UHF/VHF)

These flat coax are a simple solution to a complicated problem

I made some tests to measure and see if there was any problems due to them, and I couldn't find any difference (maybe a lab could...).

Yours though, seems of higher quality.

Wow. Wish I had known about this before carving a giant hole through the side of my house.

[brucerobson]

I put a piece of 2X4 in the window and cut out notches for coax.

[ohmHAM]

I know of a coax that's already installed in many homes, mostly unused

[truhartwood]

Read my mind! I just spent the day wondering how to get my antennas inside better than a partially opened window stopped up with a towel.

[oobihdahboobeeboppah]

I'd like to see some ARRL Lab test results before I went that route. An elegant solution no doubt if the losses too aren't noticeable.

[larryjanson]

a better way.
using wood build a short panel of the correct thickness to fit under a window. drill X number of holes through it for the long threaded coax connecters. as a benefit on the outside is a 1/4-3/8 think alum sheet, as a common ground.
then get thick wall pvc piping of ( most newer windows here in the USA ) fit 1/2in or ? diameter. but cut to length for a tight fit. said window is not going to open.
—can do this to all windows to “lock” them down to keep unwanted guests out.—.

UHF, VHF in description. A little pricing at $70.95? HF? Use for a vehicle? Thanks for letting us know about it.

[thelongislandguy]

Luv you thru-wall connections. Any tips on how you did those?

[donmurphy]

I would like to know more about what antenna(s) you use?

[over-engineered]

what’s the insertion loss and it’s impact on VSWR, both on HF and VHF I wonder.

[mdwestlund]

What's the swr and insertion loss.

[paulziminskinghr]

What happens when you put 1500 watts through it, Will it melt ?

[DonRamon]

Pretty cool, but at $70 a piece I’ll pass until cheaper options are available
