Rob,
Never use LMR-400 in a repeater system where you transmit through it. It
would be OK to use in your receiver to duplexer jumper but not for the
transmitter to duplexer jumper. Supposedly, the dissimilar metals of the
foil and braided shield can create broadband "micro-arcs" when significant
amounts of RF is carried by the coax. YMMV
