Re-Build - Coax I just bought 10 feet of RG-400U (supposedly Harbour
Industries) through E-bay for $13. Belatedly, I learned it was coming from
China. It's now here, but I don't think it is for real - it only has one
shield, and is somewhat stiff. At least the inner conductor isn't
magnetic.There's no printing on the cable.Buyer beware.73, Pete N4ZRCheck out
