Ok so im in the process of setting up my first homebrew repeater. Not having a lot of experience with feed line i have a few questions. I plan on using LDF4 from duplexer to antenna. Not exactly sure on the length yetbut probably somewhere around 50ft. Of course i am wanting to keep losses to a minimum.
1. Can i have 100ft. Of LDF4 and have the excess rolled up in the shack? This is in case i ever move the site or antenna higher i will not have to make/buy a new longer section or put two sections together.
2. Will Times LMR connectors work on andrews LDF heliax or are they not interchangeable?
3. I need 3 jumpers. 2 from radios (mini uhf male) to duplexer (type N male). I cannot find these anywhere for a good price with decent coax (superflex , rg-213 or similar). I want to eliminate adapters if possible. Any ideas? The 3rd jumper should be easy from antenna to LDF.
Thanks for any advice!
