This cable is all new to me guys.
The Davis cable I am considering is RFS Cellflex LCF78-50JA
They have it listed along with Heliax. They classify Heliax and this stuff
as Hard Line Coaxes. So I understand its not the same as CATV hardline.....
Here is their listing:

What say you ? (The price is reasonable)
I should explain what I am doing. I have an over 330 foot run to this
tower. Hoping to reduce the loss as much as I can.

I have AVA7-50 and LDF7-50A and did not notice much difference between them.
Perhaps there is a bigger difference in strength with the new style smaller
Heliax?

The DavisRF offerings are 50 ohm so not CATV 75 ohm cable.
The first question is, does DavisRF really have it? With LDF5 on the price
sheet but long out of production I doubt that it is in inventory. It has
been replaced with AVA5-50. I've used both LDF5 and the new AVA-5 which is a
PITA since they thinned the outer Cu to almost foil thickness. It is hard to
strip and clean off the foam for connectors without damaging it and AVA
unique connectors are required. It is also very easy to dent.
