[TowerTalk] LMR400/BR400 questions

[J. Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hi Folks!
Would you use BR400 instead of LMR400?  I have noted that it seems to be an
equivalent cable, but wanted to check the list for the opinions of others.

Another question...I know it may not be ideal, but with a generous loop, can
I use this type of cable around a rotator and avoid the losses from a set of
connectors and the flexible jumper?  My total runs are about 40-60 ft and
below 1300 MHz.  Alternatively, should I use the flexible version of LMR400
instead?  

Thanks &73,
Gordon, w2TTT
