Correction: The correct cable I'm after is "MIL-17-C RG-142". Thanks. Ken

You were technically right, though. RG-214 is also double shielded silver plated coax that is good for repeater systems in high-RF environments. It's RG-8 size, polyethylene dielectric.

RG-142 is the smaller RG-58 size, PTFE dielectric.

I am going to build all new patch cables for the WB6OBB repeater system and I'm wondering if anyone has any surplus MIL-17-C RG-214 coax (or equivalent) laying around they would be willing to part with.  This is double shielded silver plated coax that is good for repeater systems in high-RF environments.
