Hi Sam, We deal in Heliax and other hard line, LMR, etc. We also make
inexpensive custom hardline connectors, machined from brass compression
fittings, made to customer's sample; however we're still working on tooling
for "corrugated" Heliax. Heliax has corrugated shield which facilitates
bend. However the corrugartion, combined with the hollow .516" center
conductor on the LDF6-50 makes it tough to substitute connectors. I don't
know of any ham adaptation methods that provide a strong enough joint at the
connection, particularly if bending occurs at that point.
By the way, bend radius on your 6-50 is 15". If you need any other specs
just let me know.
I will contact you directly with our discounted Heliax connectors that you
would need to join these, if you don't die of sticker shock (although we have
the lowest prices that I'm aware of). 73, Steve Davis, K1PEK DAVIS RF
Co.
