I bought some connector on eBay from China to connect LMR-600 to PL-259
male but was not very happy about the results. The price was right but
not the performance as the connection appear to feel losey goosey.

You've gotten good advice from Jeff and Arne, but I'll add to it.
You're lucky with that cable -- matching connectors are widely
available, even PL259, which is an excellent choice if you're using
the hard line at HF. Google to find part numbers and sources, as well
as installation instructions. I've installed not quite a dozen
connectors on four or five different types of hard line. I don't
consider myself an expert, but I got the job done. The hand tools
needed are things like a hack saw, files, and adjustable wrenches.
The link below is to a short application note compiling some things I
learned in the process, including connector types for some line types
and sources of those connectors. Far from complete, simply what I
learned about the surplus and/or hard line that I found.

Jeff, It is Andrew Heliax LDF4-50A 1/2 inch. Thanks so much for
your generous offer. I am in a rural area and it is 30 miles to
nearest technology store and that is a telephone boutique named Radio
Shack staffed by young know nothings (texting experts) or Staples
office supply store for computer stuff. I'm good in QRZ.com
