Other than Heliax hardline, RG-214 is undoubtedly the best choice for  cable, 
but having
said that, while Wacom used RG-142 on their uhf duplexer, they used  cable 
labeled:
Modified RG-214 DOUBLE SHIELDED which did not have silver plating on the  
shields.
I talked with Lloyd Alcorn at Wacom regarding this some 25 years ago and he  
felt that
for interior use for duplexer connections,  double shielded copper  
conductors with a low
migration outer cover would not oxidize sufficiently to produce any noise.  I 
recently
opened up one of their VHF duplexer interconnect cables and it looked like  
it was
made up that day. Has anyone aboard experienced any problems with their  
cables?
