Oops! I should have added that RG-223/U cable is also double-shielded with silver-plated braids, and has a solid copper center conductor that is silver-plated. It has a PVC jacket and solid polyethylene dielectric. The Mil-Spec data sheet for this cable is also posted in the Files section of this Group.

Both braids are silver-plated, so there's no dissimilar metals, and no foil to rub against. RG-214/U and RG-400/U are often specified for duplexers. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Larry Horlick Sent: Sunday, March 07, 2010 2:55 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: LMR Cable Any problems with RG-214 or RG223 for duplexers/multi-couplers/combiners? lh On Sun, Mar 7, 2010 at 5:50 PM, Dan Saputo <dan17...@yahoo.com <mailto:dan173mi%40yahoo.com> <mailto:dan17...@yahoo.com <mailto:dan173mi%40yahoo.com> > > wrote: well-documented and caused mainly by the use of foil shielding as in the lmr series. gets worse as cable ages and internal braid-foil contact degrades.
