I've used thousands of feet of the 400 knockoffs (including the Shireen
version at c. .35/ft) as well as Times LMR400, and they are all virtually
identical, and that includes sweep tests through 2 GHZ.
The tough jacket makes it stiff, but that's only a consideration for rotor
loops and crank-up towers. It's good 3/8" coax for everything else...
