[TowerTalk] How flexible is standard LMR-400 ??

[Alan NV8A (ex. AB2OS)]

I don't *think* regular LMR400 is flexible enough for the 
rotator-to-tower loop.

But I would be inclined to use Davis RF's Bury-Flex in place of 
LMR400UF: it's cheaper even than regular LMR400 and has marginally lower 
loss than LMR400UF. In fact I might use it for the whole rig-to-antenna 
run (at least for HF), even though the loss is marginally greater than 
for regular LMR400.
