My experience with LDF4-50 and LDF4-75 is exact;y the same as Peter's. 


Its always best to use an antenna analyzer or TDR to cut all of the 
cables to the same length. Its very, very easy to do.

I have used LDF4-50 and LDF 4-75 by RFS for phasing lines on HF bands. 
They did as expected with 88%, however on VHF/UHF I would measure how they 
behave.

Hi all, 

I wonder whether anyone has used LDF4-50A for phasing lines and verified the 
VF as being 88%. If not have you an idea of any spread on the VF. 

I want to use some where it could make the difference to cable length. 
However nothing will be assumed it will be measured. I note from the spec 
that 

they give a tolerance of 5% but I doubt some how that the VF varies that 
much. 73 Clive GM3POI
