I posed this question to Tessco a few years ago regarding the use of FSJ cable outdoors. Evidently there were concerns years ago regarding the use of FSJ, or Superflex cables for antenna jumpers. I was assured that any past problems have been resolved. I never verified this with the manufact

Chris, I'd use LDF for the long run, and FSJ for jumpers. Also, you'll need a short jumper of RG-213, 9914, or similar at the antenna end to allow you to rotate the beam(s). I don't think the FSJ is meant to be *THAT* flexible. FWIW - I run 1/2" Heliax to my 2m/70cm stick at the top of my tower

bject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] WANTED: heliax I really don't like using Superflex (FSJ) outdoors. The jacket on FSJ is much thinner than it is on LDF, making it easier to get water in due to a small nick. Also, the corrugation on FSJ is helical (spiral), whereas LDF is annular ("rings&

Try this websitehttp://www.surpluscoax.com/ Little differnce in FSJ$ and LDF4 other then slight change in loss value and smaller min. bend radius for the FSJ. Big difference between LDF1 and FSJ4 size and loss figures. -- Doug N3DAB/WPRX486/WPJL709 Chris Curtis wrote: =

Ok, so I also could use some heliax. Now, I understand fsj is the flexi but is it really that bad to install from antenna to shack? The reason I ask is there is some fsj4 on ebay. No ldf in any considerable length. I was looking at ldf1 but got quoted 1.25 a foot vs 190.00 for 250' of fsj4. Yes
