some RG213 and some LMR400, are about 15 years old. Would I see any
significant benefit by replacing them? It will all be coming down in
about 2 years, anyway, as I'll be relocating at that time. Worth the
extra work and expense, or not?
I wouldn't bother, particularly if it's all coming down soon. (Where
are you going?)
Out here on the left coast, any change in antenna, coax, hardware,
etc. is determined by "Can the JA's tell the difference?" They - or any DX
station - won't be able to tell in this case.
