[TenTec] [SMC] OT: Half inch Andrews Heliax LDF4-50A vs LMR-400

[GARY HUBER]

Great discussion site. Note this piece applies to ALL aluminum foil and 
copper braid construction shielded coaxial cables not just LMR-400.  On 
another related thread there was an opinion that LMR-400, Belden 9913, and 
similar shielded cables should be only used inside where they are NOT 
exposed to temperature, vibration, and similar stresses.  Your mileage may 
vary but if you are in a multiple transmitter environment (trunking 
repeaters, iDEN site, or multi TX contester, etc) you should probably pass 
on these cables and stick with the Heliax(r) type cable.

Interesting discussion.  I found this info on the LMR400 issue:
