The 600 in LMR600 represents the outer diameter of the cable, .600 inch.
This is really heavy duty cable. I have a couple runs going up my tower.
Putting on the special connectors is quite easy. The center pin is separate
from the body and is soldered to the center conductor before assembly. It
is really overkill for HF applications, but very good for VHF/UHF.

Subject: [TowerTalk] LMR- 600 Ultraflex
Recently I posted about the problem I was having with the defective LMR400
Ultraflex cracking, and how times was going to send me 450 feet of really
nice upgraded stuff.
Today, I received an email saying that they did not have any of the upgraded
really nice stuff in the 400 size, but would send it the upgraded stuff in
LMR 600. I know the regular 259s do not fit the 600 stuff, so I would need
to get 30 UHF fittings for the LMR600 and I told them that.
They have agreed to supply 30 of the UHF fittings for LMR600 for free if I
want to take the LMR600 stuff. The problem is, I have never worked with
installing the fittings on LMR600. I can do the PL259s in my sleep, but am
concerned that the LMR600 UHF fittings might be a major pain.
Has anyone messed with these and if so, how much of a pain are they?
