Thanks for the link...

If you've been following the other threads on the subject, LMR-400DB is my
choice - until some expert convinces me that milspec 214 is a better bet.

The PDF shows the waterproof nature of the DB; I'm not sure my
correspondents in the other forum where several EEs/Hams are debating the
subject have seen the linked stuff. I'll put it up there.

That said, there's gotta be a reason the military uses milspec stuff, at
well over double the cost, perhaps included being the double braided jacket
making RF migration/insertion pretty much impossible...

Ideas about that?

Less than 1/2 the loss of RG-214 but yet the same diameter:

Made for outdoor use. Better shielding (solid in addition to braid) more
flexible, better UV protection, 20 year life expectancy. Much better
performance over its lifetime. When it finally does degrade to near the
dismal performance of RG-214, then replace it. It's even cheaper than most
places charge for RG-214 at retail.
