I have found the "comfortable" bending radius is about 1.5 feet (3 foot loop), but you could get a loop quite a bit tighter without distorting the center conductor. I treat it similar to 1/2 inch har

I don't *think* regular LMR400 is flexible enough for the rotator-to-tower loop. But I would be inclined to use Davis RF's Bury-Flex in place of LMR400UF: it's cheaper even than regular LMR400 and ha

I like to make a distinction between bending radius (which can take a set) and flexing radius (which does not) I believe the minimum bending radius for LMR 400 is only 1 1/2 inches, not something you
It is my understanding that the bending radius quoted in the spec is the tightest you can bend it in a permanent installation and the tightest you can put it on a reel. There are two issues here (at
