[SixClub] Question on RG8 or RG213

[Jordan Arndt]

The only time RG-213 beats good RG-8 is when its fabricated to
MIL-Spec...That doesn't happen much anymore...Almost no-one makes cable to
original specs these days unless it's for the Military or for commercial
use......
For the money, today you can out up LMR-400 for a little more than RG-8...
Thats what I'd go with....73 de Jordan....
