[TowerTalk] Attaching "flex" cable to crank-up standoffs

[Marv Shelton]

So, what do you think is best? RG-213???
I think getting 5 years out of low loss coax is acceptable. I can help force at least that interval of mainten ance on one's amtennas.

The jacket is a rubber like material that is easily abraded, catches on most any thing and has a short advertised life of 10 years.  Best I've gotten out of using it in normal situations has been around 6 years.  It works very well, but not for long.
