LMR-UF is rated for outdoor use but I have also read that the rubber does
not hold up. I have some LMR400-UF but it has never been outdoors very
long. I assume that you're looking to minimize your coax loss. I am not
aware of other low loss flexible options - LMR600UF has half the loss of
RG-213. I would try it, maybe with a RG-213 coax loop so it's easy to swap
out if it deteriorates or gets damaged while extending the tower.

Greetings,
Trying to figure out the best long-term solution for low loss coax up a
crank up tower.
I like LMR600 but have read that the Ultraflex (UF) it does not hold up well
against the elements, particularly ultraviolet rays.
Has this issue been remedied? If not, what's a better coax for this
application?
Shireen also has their version of UF but not sure how that would hold up....
Appreciate your input.
