## This is a joke right ?? BTW... RG-217 is puny
stuff.... it's the 50 ohm version of the older RG-14 52 ohm 5/8" plane
jane coax.... slightly bigger than RG-213. Both RG-217 and RG-14au are
5/8" od. 217 has a 10 ga solid center conductor.. and is still being sold.
## IF he is talking about RG-17..... they have not made that stuff
since the 70's. [it was 52 ohm] RG17 was used with LC connector's...
and the solid center conductor IS the center pin !
### RG-17 is now
called RG-218. RG218 is the newer 50 ohm version... and has a slightly
bigger cenetr conductor.... which will not fit the older LC femal
chassis connector's... unless grns down a bit. Both RG17 and RG-218
ate huge 1" diam.... and have the same loss's as LMR-600 or 1/2" heliax.
