Yes, hardline is the coax to use for a duplex (repeater) system.  Other
acceptable cables are RG-400, RG-393, and RG-214 all of which are double
shielded.

LMR-400/DXE 400 Max are fine for home station or half-duplex use but not
recommended for a site with the potential for intermodulation products,
i.e. a site with many transmitters such as certain commercial repeater
sites.
