Coax performance and durability is largely a matter of manufacturing 
quality.

"LMR400 equivalent" is NOT a performance spec, it is an advertising 
claim. And as K8RI has noted, LMR400 itself has some problems. Those who 
buy ONLY on price and performance "claims" often get what they pay for 
-- less.

Those wanting to learn more about coax might find 
k9yc.com/Coax-Stubs.pdf helpful. Nobel Laureate K1JT heard my talk on 
this at Pacificon several years ago and complimented me on it.
