I ran the LMR-400 cable this afternoon (replacing the RG-58) and saw an immediate improvement in the number of aircraft picked up, and the maximum range. I was just watching HA452 (N380HA) departing, and tracked it out to 242.2nm (448.5 Km). Once the Polar Plot has had a couple of days to build, I will post an image.

LMR-400 is 10.29 mm in dia, and the inner conductor is 2.74 mm - one fat cable and very inflexible.

Thanks for the setup tips Noel and Kurt.
