I am putting the tower back up and need new feedline as well as rotor cable. I have never used (or seen for that matter) LMR-400 , how flexible is it ? the tower is a UST TX-472 crankup , is it suita

I would not consider LMR-400 as a suitable cable for a crank-up. Although it'll make bends tighter than almost any other RG-8 sized cable at 1.5" radius (IIRC), the stuff is stiff. It's great coax, j

I've been using LMR-400 with my crankup tower for about 5 years, including the rotor loop. I've got about 10 runs bundled into a large umbilical cord with the rotor cable, a heavy cable for the 24V t

Did you pull the whole bundle through as a unit or pull the cables through one at a time? I like your fence idea. I should have done that when I pulled wires through 200 feet of plastic flexible cond

Very few put in a 2' diameter expansion/rotator loop, but such does work just fine. LMR-400 and LMR-600 have a tough enough jacket than they tend to be slippery as well. I use 3 turns of 18" diameter

The TFE augmented pulling grease was found at McMasterCarr, not that much more expensive as we used just less than one quart, and it sounded like good insurance as we expected problems. It went easie
