I just saw some prices for Times cable at www.cablexperts.com.
LMR1700 (7.3 dB loss per 100m) is $7.90 US per foot, which I
calculate to be about $50 AUS per metre. Ouch! LDF550
isn't much cheaper.

LMR400 is around $4.50 per metre AUS. Male N connectors
are US$20 each. For LMR1700 they are $110 US each....

No sign of RG212/214 on their web site though (cablexperts.com).
The RG numbers I think are fairly generic specs so it may
be a matter of finding a manufacturer with something close
to those specs. I thought RG214 was just double-shielded
RG213, which wouldn't make a lot of difference.
