Tks Jerry- yes-I have that data on the FSJ1/50A. Getting data on the older
cable type is what I want as I have a quantity of it here. Forgot I had it
actually! Just came across a box of it when sorting out some other cables a
few days back. I suspect it will be similar - as regards loss at 10 GHz- to
the A suffix current cable, but really want to get that confirmed- else I'll
have to connectorise a few meters of it and make some measurements.
