OK, now I'm on the same page (except for the repeaters,
because most duplexers have far less notch depth than you'd
ever have crosstalk through shields).

I agree now with the general concept. When you are doing
critical measurements in a screen room, you need exceptional
cable.

For a system connected to an antenna, you are wasting money
if you go out of the way to buy double shield. That agrees
with everything I've experienced.
