Yeah, it's power handling isn't particularly high either but enough for short runs on 2-6Ghz microwave bands as you say. I have a reel of LMR400 as well. Not as good as Ecoflex but a bit cheaper but both are just too thick to run around a building without anybody noticing (Bloody conservation area/listed buildings...)
