Notes:
* Bury-Flex attenuation is very close to LMR400 (2.1 dB @ 400 MHz)
** RF9913 (#WM102) Flexi-XL is stranded. Attenuation is slightly higher than standard 9914, but still very low loss.
*** RG-8 (#WM106) {Not listed on table} has somewhat higher attenuations as compared to Bury-Flex (note that Bury-Flex has a 20+ year abrasive resistant jacket of PE, whereas RG-8 is a Non-Contaminating PVC). RG-8 (WM106) has a double shield.
