I am using LMR600UF; a bundle of 4 cables plus rotor running up
my 72 foot US Towers crankup. I crank it up and down each time
I operate (fancy neighbors). No problems, but I don't do it
remotely, as I'm always afraid the motor will tear things up if
the cable hangs up on something like the base of the tower. I
also stay out there while the tower comes down to make sure every
thing coils nicely.
You may say its inconvenient to do this, but I'd to it no matter
what cable I had hanging. Except for hardline, I don't think
you can beat the LMR600UF for the bands I use, 144 thru 2304 MHz.
I have Heliax running to near the base of the tower where the LMR
takes over.
Not necessarily the only solution, just what I chose.
