The smoothwall specs are not that great. LDF4-50A is also 1/2" and its
loss is .357dB per 100 feet at that frequency. Also connectors are easy to
install with a few hand tools.

It is smoothwall but the description from Tessco was this:

CommScope - 1/2" HELIAX Superflexible Smoothwall Aluminum
TESSCO SKU: 473138
QTY/UOM: 1 FOOT
UPC: 646444731386
MFG Part #: SFX-500


They describe it as heliax but it is smoothwall. It has good specs; .529 db
loss at 30 MHz/100 ft. You find the tech specs at Tessco's website searching
sku No. 473138. Still don't know where the 'Superflexible' term came into
play.
It's stiff!



Think that would work?
