As I said a minute ago, I got the LMR-400DB.  Steve Davis told me I
probably didn't even need the "DB" (Direct Buryable) variety, that the
"regular" LMR-400 is pretty good even buried.  But I decided for a 550
ft run and all the trouble it was, I needed every "DB" I could get -
whether the DB stood for gain OR buryability!!  Go for it - 120 ft won't
break the bank, but Bury-Flex would be excellent for that short a run
also, and less $$.  GL
