Without a doubt , if you are going to buy "coax" then get "Times
Microwave -LMR400 or LMR400uf" they have excellent loss characteristics
for the type of feedline and don't have the condensation problems that
9913 does .

LMR is a closed cell type of foam , the regular has a solid center and
the UF has stranded .....


fwiw
