A little mismatch isn't such a problem. At least if you can get the loss
down. I wouldn't even worry about it, the internal tuner would make short
work of that. Look out for water damage on that stuff though. Especially
the Aluminum braid/foil shield stuff like LMR. Even a little bit of
moisture percolates all through the braid.and turns it into aluminum oxide
powder and extremely noisy with power on it. It could look brand new and
you would keep cutting it back, then find a foot of new braid but keep
cutting and its back to chalk. We would routinely assume it bad and throw
it away. At least with the Hardline, you can sweep it and put some power to
it to check the loss Only hardline allowed on towers.


Since it was on spools, and dusty, had no concern with that. LOL
