If anyone who uses heliax for their system is interested, I have accumulated
a fair sized collection of twist on connectors, most of them for 1/2" xx4-50, such as LDF4-50 or EC4-50, but also quite a few for superflex.
I have male and female, N and 7/16" DIN.
These are used, however they are reusable and can be rebuilt many times before physical wear occurs to the point to affect signal loss. I reuse them all the time at work and they sweep the same as new if not better.
The only issue is the o-ring to keep moisture out the back which is not an issue, what goes up on tower gets sealed with mastic and tape.
Most of them are made by Andrews, also have a few Eupen which are the better ones, especially in terms of ease of installation.(I can do it with 2 pairs of channel locks, needle nose and razor knife in under a minute).
I can also get connectors for 7/8", 1-5/8" and 2-1/4" corrugated type heliax by special request.
Also have a few solder type connectors for LMR-600 I could try to desolder.
Make an offer, I am thinking something along the lines of $2 each for the Andrews. Maybe $5 for eupen.
I also trade for PL-259 connectors, connector adapters of all sorts, BNC and mini UHF, for RG-8, RG-58, RG-213 and LMR-240, these I do not have many of. Also trade for whatever.
