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.

Hi Steve, In the approx 50' length of feedline we used, there appeared to be no un-realistic amount of loss in the new lmr cable. As mentioned earlier, sourcing the numb receiver was a real head scratcher for a week or two. Tx out power and return losss measured just peachy, but no cigar

Connecting two identical radios back-to-back is the easy part, which this cable probably can do okay. But it does not include a station identifier, which is mandatory. I also am skeptical about the claim of full duplex operation. Back-to-back cables normally work in cross-band
