You can get a pretty good bend out of the smaller super flex cable but a true 90 degree bend should be an elbow connector. That is true of any coax though. Yes you can bend the 8x stuff at 90 degrees but it's not good for the center conductor.

How is the likely 90 degree bend near the base of the mast handled; just a bend or a 90 degree connector? Thanks, Ron Rogers -----Original Message----- From: Vernon Densler Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 9:30 PM This is what I would use. http://www.rfparts.com/heliax_FSJ150A.html Not much bigger than regular coax. I am very partial to Andrew's Heliax. I noticed a big difference when changed my repeater over from LMR 400 to 1/2" heliax. This is actually what I have on my repeater to duplexer connections then the 1/2" going to the antenna from the duplexer. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
