I recently checked the Belden page, and apparently they fixed the center 
conductor migration problem that caused them to stop making the Flex 
version.  The page under Amateur Radio has 9913F all over it, and no 
reference to normal 9913 cable.   But if you enter 9913 in the search both 
9913 & 9913F come up.  I recently had trouble finding regular 9913 in stock 
by my regular distributers (Tessco, Hutton, etc...).  They said most people 
just buy the cheaper knock-offs now.
