Thanks Chuck, After getting the cable in front of me ( which was AFTER I posted the question) and peeling back the jacket, I saw the foil and braid shielding, so you are correct. Looks like another hybrid of LMR-400, etc. This will be used around some tight turns where heliax might be difficult to use and I won't use the LMR type cables, so I think I will use a length of RG-214 instead. Total run of cable is about 100ft and the rest is 7/8" Andrew. Thanks for the reply. - Mike

If this is the case, I'd suggest not using it in a repeater installation. I'm pretty sure it's in the 9913/9914 family. I'd suggest a piece of 1/2" Heliax. Now, if the antenna is only going to be 20' from the repeater, you may still have issues.
