- There is a school of thought out there that many subscribe to, myself included, that will not use LMR cables for long runs on a repeater, due to the noise that tends to be generated. Just as an aside

- UF is probably not the ideal cable for most outdoor uses. The jacket on all of the UF (Ultraflex) Times cables does not withstand UV as well as the non-UF cables. Any sun-exposed use is likely a trad
