[TowerTalk] Compatible Hardline Connectors

[Steve K8LX]

You probably mean LCF12-50.

The big issue with mating connectors and cables from different 
manufacturers is the center conductor diameter/design.

LCF12-50 & LDF4-50 are both 1/2" annular corrugated cables so the shield 
will be almost identical.

Depending on the dielectric, the center conductor might vary in diameter 
a little bit. Some connectors can accept a little variation in center 
conductor diameter and still make good contact.

Extract a piece of LDF4 center conductor and push it in to the RFS 
center pin. Does it feel firm? If so, you should be good to go.
