Reddit mentions of Coax Cable Connector - Coaxial Cable Connector - Antenna Cable - RG8X Coax Connector - Coaxial Cable 50 Ft - RG8X Coaxial Cable - UHF Antenna Cable - Male To Male Cable - 15.2 M - STEREN 205-750

If I was buying piecemeal, I would buy...

• FT-450D $750
  
• Pyramid 30amp switching psu ~$80
  
• DX-CC Fan Dipole $180
  
• 50' rg8x feedline $20
  
  total ~ $1030
  
  So youd save ~$200, but you also wouldnt be getting the LDG tuner ... which is likely where the cost difference is. IMO you dont need the LDG tuner, the built in ATU + fan dipole that is resonant on multiple bands will get you operating on 80,40,20,10 (and maybe even 6).
  
  Alternatively, you can build very simple 40/20 fan dipole for MUCH cheaper than the DX-CC (like ... $50?) so it really depends how much you want it to work "out of the box".
  
  FWIW i bought the dx-cc when i bought my first HF rig (an FT-897d) because I didnt want to mess with antenna stuff a ton before getting on the air. I've been very happy with it.
  
  
  
  edit:
  
  to clarify, I think you are better off spending money on an antenna than you are on a tuner.

ah yea, it most likely wont work very well, radios rely on the 50 ohm cables.

you'll prolly want some of this, its what i use for my cb radio, its nice coax :)
