Just checking. =)  But you never know with evaluation pieces.
I pulled the frontend from the Winradio site... Seems to do what I think it

Personally, I find RG-59 easy to work with and slip on connectors.  RG-11
(solid core anyhow) has always been a bugger...Esp. versions with the hard
plastic coating, and that coupled with el-cheapo connectors purchased by
somebody else didn't help. (grumble...but thats, another story)

Yes, it does the job. One can't argue that.  Just look at the miles of phone
lines running everywhere, for miles on end.

As you say, it goes against the grain.  Probably the fact that one knows
theres stuff better for a particular job, and TP is just a cheap
alternative.

Good to hear.  I'll be looking forward to the full report.
