Please turn off your caps. It is considered shouting.
Read article 338 very carefully.
The reason it is not permitted for above ground use is because it does not have a flame retardant covering.

USE-2 is sunlight resistant. It is allowed to be used outside in a mast. Your inspector is mistaken.

Re: USE-2 CABLING
Dave,
I don't see anything that allows USE to be used above grade for anything other than a connection to a meter socket or disconnect, and that assumes the USE has physical protection and is part of a service lateral.

The neutral in triplex has provisions for the span support problem that USE does not.
