Isn't this the same stuff that a certain dealer who advertises here from time to time really had, when he thought he had RG-400, and then e-mailed all of us who'd mailed checks to say it was RT-142 or similar? Anyone else have that happen? Oh well... two phone calls, multiple e-mails and I never got any cable (which I didn't really want after it was found it wasn't RG-400) or a check back... I gave up. Wrote it off as "never do business there again", even though the person has a decent reputation on this list. I won't say who, as I really don't want to deal with the flame-fest. It was the only order of anything I got hosed on all of last year and the year before, so I'll chalk it up to "experience" and move on. If someone wants to know who it was off-list, feel free to e-mail. I figure he just got caught between a rock and a hard place, and having dealers willing to sell/stock old stuff here on the list, is worth more to me than worrying about one mistake, really. I'm mostly just curious if that's where you got it? Nate WY0X
