[Boatanchors] Bird Termaline 50 Ohm load - 82A - Need adapter

Thu Nov 18 12:43:37 EST 2010

I did a hit and run yesterday Price and didnt read all the posts.

I still have a 250' roll of RG-177 with LC connectors and N adaptors that 
Ive had since the late 60's and it still measures within specs. Its been 
used by me outdoors for maybe 2 years tops and had been originally used 
indoors in a military building. Im saving it for when the power rules go up 
by 10dB (-;
