[TowerTalk] Coax type selection

[Tommy]

Could someone please explain to me why LMR-400 seems to be preferred over
Belden 9913 for coax feed line? They have about the same attenuation/100' at
28 MHz, 9913 has a non-contaminating jacket and 9913 cost a little less than
LMR-400.

 

Comparing the specs of both, leads one to believe they are just about
equivalent, however, I must be missing something?

 

Thanks.
