Like Steve mention, I have LMR and similar in rotor loop and you need to
take
care
to make BIG loops , but if you can for Loops use Bury Flex as first option,
after that
DXE now have a similar product that looks close the same,
Is good to have options for all the needs, with all those options I don't see
why buy 213 or RG-8
if you can have double shield in your cables at very competitive prices if you
look for them

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...
