I looked for an LMR-600 equivalent and didn't find one. Is there such an 
animal?

Fortunately a kind soul gave me 200 feet of 5/8" Heliax which will work just 
fine for either 6 or 2-meters. Now I need one more run and a relatively 
inexpensive and low loss way to switch the antennas between the shop and 
house.  I'm going to plug the rotator into the computer next to the station. 
Then control it from the shop through the network rather than switching the 
8 conductor cable.
