Yes, it was resolved at a lot of commercial sites by not allowing it to be used 
;-)

Usually after a bit of time, the cable will start to become a source of noise 
as the two dissimilar metals start to react with each other. There are many 
documented cases of this problem. Search this group's messages and you'll see 
this has been discussed over and over. It comes up about every other week.

The manufacturers do not list these cables for low PIM.

There's info on the Repeater Builder site here:

Personally, I've seen it cause problems on several sites. Getting it out of 
service solved the problem.

  I believe the issues with LMR were resolved years ago Chuck.  Can you refresh 
the group on some of the primary issues?

  Thanks,

  p.s. we've been using it for five years at ten sites with no problems.
