[TowerTalk] Coax

[Hector Garcia XE2K]

Like Steve mention,  I have  LMR and similar  in rotor loop and you need to take 
care
to make BIG loops , but if you can  for Loops use Bury Flex   as first option,  
after that
DXE  now have a similar product that looks close the same, 

Is good to have options for all the needs,  with all those options  I don't see 
why  buy 213 or RG-8
if you can have double shield in your cables at very competitive prices if you 
look for them

I've used thousands of feet of the 400 knockoffs (including the Shireen 
version at c. .35/ft) as well as Times LMR400, and they are all 
virtually identical, and that includes sweep tests through 2 GHZ.

The tough jacket makes it stiff, but that's only a consideration for 
rotor loops and crank-up towers. It's good 3/8" coax for everything else...
