Re: Any German speakers here?

Hello Paul,

Ok, Rene has translated it already. But I'd be careful when buying old coax for RF lab gear. Depending on where it has been the innards may or may not be that fresh. In the past I have seen some coax that had been used outdoors and had gotten a good soaking. At least I'd give the seller a ring to check on that.

If you need 50ohm coax why not go to the next ham shop and buy a length of new RG58? It'll hardly set you back more than bid and shipping on ebay and then you can be sure it's new, standard, and that you can get matching connectors right there at the shop. A good ham shop will have N-connectors.

Regards, Joerg
