Because he asked a SIMPLE question. I'm not going to judge what type of
quality of cable he's using... I would assume if one is going to put up a
new tower and tribander and spend 1000s of $$ doing it, he would not scrimp
on a piece of RG-213 coax.
That said, Jim. K9YC, was making a mountain out of a mole hill.
That is my opinion.
Your opinion appears not to be the same.. So be it.

I'm trying to to figure out what was wrong or hard to understand about Jim's
answer? I've seen many examples of poor quality cables with
*RG213* stamped on them...
