Lee, if you would like, contact me directly for a quote on Andrew/Commscope
Heliax OR a lower cost Heliax Tm equivalent, high quality, Made in USA, hard
line. Please tell me your application freqcy, length, and I will give you
options for size of cable vs. price vs.attenuation. .
I will look into one of the suggestions below which is a low cost, Commscope
equivalent to LCF4-50A, because Commscope has a Heliax Tm version at
considerably higher cost, so my first guess is that the lower price option is
either made in CHINA and/or uses an aluminum vs. copper clad center conductor.

Hi all,
Doing a search for TXM in the TowerTalk archives produces a single hit: an
unanswered inquiry from Lloyd, KH6LC.
I had never even heard of them until today. It looks like I could save a
little over 1/3 the cost compared to what I've been quoted for Heliax.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Lee, AA4GA

Hi Lee. ?I built a huge communications tower for a county 911?in 2001. There
were 41 antennas that had to have hardline. ?I went with a company out of
Dallas Texas called PRODELIN ? The specs were better than Andrews at that time
? ?The cost was less than one half of Andrews ? It?s been 21 years, I have no
idea if they are still around. , but I bet they are. ? Dan. N4GNR
