[SCCC] LMR400

[Michael Tope]

That would be great, Tom. My biggest concern was that the 
TWB-4001 that the guy was selling might be rejected material
that didn't meet spec. I know that sort of thing goes on a lot
in the electronics parts business. We get alerts at work all 
the time regarding rejected or outright counterfeit or military 
parts that people are trying to hawk as the real thing.

BTW, it seems that Amphenol now owns Times Fiber 
Communications which as far as I can tell used to be part of 
Times Microwave (the folks who make LMR-400).
