[Fourlanders] 1/2" hardline

[Jim Worsham]

I agree with Ron.  I would tend to stick with tried and true Andrew hardline
especially since it and the connectors are or at least used to be readily
available in the bone yard at places like Dayton and Shelby.  I have heard
though that the supply of surplus hardline is drying up since the price of
copper has skyrocketed and folks are scrapping it for the copper.  Luckily I
purchased a 500 foot spool of 1/2" hardline several years ago in Dayton so I
have a life time supply.  It pays to think ahead.

Not really, but I do know it is made by Huber-Suhner, which is a reputable
name.

However, most of us "professionals" prefer Andrew cable and connectors due
to the availability and cost effective pricing on the cable itself and the
matching connectors. Not sure if Sucofeed and Andrew feedline can use each
other's connectors.

Sometimes what can be saved on cable cost is offset by the price of "rare"
or pricy connectors.

 Hello to all,

 I just heard about 50 ohm 1/2" hardline called "Sucofeed" which is sold by
The Wireman. Does anyone have any experience with this product?
