I use LMR400-FLEX for my rotor loops and have had no problems. It has been up since 1999 or 2000. LMR400-FLEX is the designator for the stranded center conductor version. I also have used Davis FLEX LMR400 equivalent and if I remember correctly Davis-FLEX that is what is stamped on the feedline. The difference between LMR400 solid center conductor and LMR400 FLEX stranded center conductor has a loss of about .1 or .2db more at 50 MHz. Again if my memory is correct.

I plan to use some for the same reason, going around a rotor to a HexBeam. 73, John WB4UHCK3 #2165 On Monday, October 10, 2016 6:16 PM, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: OK all. I'm installing a 6m rotating beam and feeding it with LMR400. Would you connect the LMR to the antenna and allow it to move with the rotation, or run a short length of something much more flexible between the antenna and LMR? I have my concerns that the solid heavy inner conductor of the LMR won't take much movement.
