[TowerTalk] LMR- 600 Ultraflex

[Merlin-7 KI4ILB]

I use some lmr-600
But I cheated...
I took it to a local company that does commercial  work and had them install
the connectors (they did if for free) they are used to working with
hard-line and when I told them That I was using it for a ham radio it really
blew there socks off....
lmr-600 is a bit of an over kill after all
