Hi Dale - I have some left over from a previous life when I used to install 5GHz links. The last few years I hadn't really been doing field work and they were on my desk. A couple of months after we all started working from home they stopped leasing the office space and we had to empty our desks and bring everything home. Then 10 months later I was made redundant so whatever was at home stayed at home (apart from the laptop). I was probably the only person there who would have known how to terminate LDF4-50 anyway.
I also used to install VHF antennas on airports, and for some reason the customer preferred LDF4-50 for that rather than the easier to run LMR400 - the loss difference at VHF airband would be negligible.
Anyway, I have 2 Andrew L4PNM-RC connectors still in their original packaging if they are suitable, or about 4 of these other ones that say they are for LCF12-50J cable - never heard of that one but it looks similar to LDF4-50 and must have been bought for it (from Rojone) or supplied for those airport jobs. The connectors are about 10 years old probably but being in sealed plastic packaging should still be good.

I am never going to use them so you are welcome to a couple or more for the price of postage from Sydney. The Spinner ones are also still in their sealed bags with instructions. I also have a number of male-male or female-female N connector joiners if they are of any use.
