[TowerTalk] LMR600 male DIN

[Bob K6UJ]

Paul,

Good question.  I was comparing both of these feedlines also.
I haven't  used either one so I rely on the comments here on our
reflector.

Here's a quote from Roger,   K8RI
"I found 1/2" Heliax too fragile for kinking, or being stepped on. I 
gave away two 100' runs with connectors. and went to LMR600"
