I'd change out the LMR cable for something that will not cause you possible
problems later on.  You've spent good money for a fine system so far, don't
jeopardize its operation by "going cheap" and using LMR for the feedline.
The overall best suggestion is to use at least 1/2" hardline for this
application, especially since you have a short run.  (Longer runs woujld be
better with 7/8 or larger...)  Do *NOT* use LMR anywhere, even for your
jumpers...

If you're not familiar with the issues surrounding LMR cable, search the
message database at this group - you'll find discussions "ad nauseum"
regarding the use of LMR and its being prone to noise when used in duplex
(repeater) operation.

Of course, YMMV...

Yes, I have spent a lot.  It's a Dstar repeater.

It's the KE5KAF Dstar system in Laredo.
