[TowerTalk] Anyone know anything about Eupen's version of Heliax?

[Al, N6TA]

Looks like an interesting and legit alternative, especially if the price is
available to customers that do not buy in big quantities.  Look carefully at
the Eupen USA site and that of tessco.  They have two cables with the same
generic part number but different specs.  One has more flexibility at higher
loss.  That one has helical corrugations and the lower loss design has
annular corrugations.  The Tessco site shows an image on one and the specs
of the other so you better make sure of what you are buying.

Tessco has a FSJ4-50B like flex hardline made by a European company called
Eupen. Slightly better spec's than the Andrews and with a 10 year warranty.
But at $.44/ft! Claims to use Andrews connectors.

Anyone know anything about this cable?
