Thanks! I neglected to mention that the 70cm beam would be fixed rather than rotatable.
Guess, I'll do the ldf outside and fsj or 214 inside.

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, with a short section of 9914 from the Heliax to the antenna itself. Inside the shack, I use FSJ1-50 (I think that's the nomenclature - it's 1/4", RG-58 diameter) as jumpers to the rigs - no more than 3' in length. Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Chris Curtis I appreciate the tips on where to find the stuff. Does anyone have an opinion of installing the FSJ product instead of the LDF product? Remember, my budget gives me 2 options at the moment. LDF1 1/4 inch OR the cheap on ebay FSJ4 1/2 inch. That's the crux, is flexi BAD for a run from the antenna to the shack? Both connection points are weather proof. Thanks Chris Kb0wlf ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
