Belden has had some quality issues with 9913F.  Cable Experts in Wheeling,
IL has a 9913F equivalent that is nice.  It's what I use.
www.cablexperts.com

The 9913 solid is very nice for long runs, but don't use it with a rotor.
It is EXTREMELY unflexible and is also somewhat of a pain to use as it has a
mind of its own.

Some of the Times Microwave LMR cables now offer better performance than the
9913s at about the same price.
