Tim, The only issue I have had is that if you get any moisture between the braid and foil shield.. you will soon have the "million diode marching band" serenading your receiver in a duplex environment. It happened to a guy just South of here when a hunk was used in a duplexer harness a while back. Replaced the jumper and all was well again...
Also the braid is aluminum, so it is pretty fragile to any twisting etc where it attaches to a connector. Also makes it somewhat difficult to solder to. Use the crimp-on style connectors from www.Fab-Corp.com and provide some kind of stress relief to the connector. Try not to nick the center conductor when you strip it back as it is copper-clad aluminum. I a simplex environment... I love it!

I have not used it before but was curious what problems others may have encountered while using it. Tim KB2MFS Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
