[TowerTalk] perfect braid...

I have employed all three over the years.  I like the look and feel of
9913F7 and recently purchased two 1000ft rolls.  This will replace all my
coax in the near future.

So, answer me this, oh gurus...if I have a coax with a tight braid..98%,
which is then covered by aluminum foil, how close to perfect is it?  

My experience is, 9913 flex, when used to replace all other coax in the
station, reduced crosstalk, stray spurs pickup, and interaction with house
phones.  Is there a shield system that's superior to 9913F?  How does LMR400
stack up?  rg213?  

I've sampled only a limited number of types, and am truly curious.
