[TowerTalk] Where to get LMR 400

[Artek Manuals]

John

Works ok around a rotator as long as you make the service loop big 
enough, Also depends on whether your rotator does 360 or 450 degrees . I 
am currently using LMR400 on a 450 degree rotation . I have a larger 
than normal service loop as the loop must clear a 5 element 220 MHz beam 
which is "fixed" below the rotating HF beam, so the feedline goes about 
7' out along the boom before dropping down to clear the 220 antenna. I 
use a 1" pvc elbow  tie wrapped to the boom  this provides a smooth 
curve  transition from the boom, down, thus avoiding the possibility of 
sharp corner bend in the LMR at the boom
