Simple solution, Ted - our Flexi4xl (p/n102), the first of the flexible
9913 type, has a 10+ year track record, and although air dielectric, we
have no records of failure due to H2O when properly installed. Next,
there is our p/n 106, made just like 9913F, but with a NCV jacket, and
103A Davis' "Buryflex" - same core, but poly jacket like LMR, but more
flex.The latter two have a few tenths db's higher loss than 9913F when it
was perfect.
The only thuing constant in this business is change!

Interesting reason, ug.
I had thought that it might have been a manufacturing problem, as was the
Belden 9913F.
Yes, LMR has a UV resistant jacket which is a plus. But there is one
thing
I don't like about LMR: It is too stiff.
