No, I agree Jim. It’s more than “simply
RG-58”….. but my comment about “is basically double shielded
RG-58” was pointed toward parameters like velocity factor, power
handling, and loss at frequency which ARE almost identical to RG-58 poly
interior coax.
Yes, I’ve used RG-400 many times,
mainly in repeater service for jumpers between duplexers, filters, etc. where critical
shielding is required. And, I’ve got about 40 feet of it myself on the
shelf somewhere.

It's a little more than that Ron. Yes, it is double shielded and
the same size as RG58 but that double shielding is silver plated copper.
The dielectric and outer jacket are Teflon. It is pretty deluxe
stuff. Something you might find in a rocket. Wink! I wouldn't
mind having some. What is the deal Kim? How much does he want for
it?
