Again,
You might want to compare this cable to the LMR400-DB.
It has performed well for me.

Bury Flex is good cable, however, in comparison
to LMR400, its velocity factor is 10 to 15% lower.
This means that its insertion loss will be 10 to
15% higher.  The VF also isn't as well controlled
in Bury Flex, in case you are making phasing lines.
I use both kinds, in the appropriate applications.
