The Coax is similar to RG-174.  It is pretty standard stuff in the video
world.  See if you can find someone at a TV station or network to help you
out.  They'd have the crimp tools and connectors to get you hooked back
up.  The tool's kind of expensive.  Jensen tools out of Tempe Arizona has
the tools and connectors if you can't find any other help.

Thanks for your suggestions.  Here is some additional information

SETPORT does not change printer settings.  I've tried it on two different
computers with SETPORT coming from two different sources.  Also have tried
changing settings with my word processer(FREESTYLE) with no change.
For example, it will print bold but not enhanced.  Freestyle works
fine with my LA 100 as do both copies of SETPORT.  Have also tried changing
settings using the Print Option Setup function of Multiplan V3.  Still no
change.

Single sheet FEED does not advance evenly.  Your suggestion of adjusting patte
pressure with the red lever sounds like it might work.  It is now full forward
I'll try different settings today to see if it makes a difference.

Your suggestions are very much appreciated.  I'm open to any others.

Bob

I am finally on my way and the LQP03 seems to work just fine.  The switch
settings you sent last time did the trick.

Then this morning I found the necessary information to install WordStar for
use with the LQP03.  There was a driver for the '02 which I tried and everythi
I have tried since installation works well.  Now that I have gotten this far,
I can really see the need for a tractor feed.  One sheet at a time is about
it.  So I will be on the lookout for a 'good deal' on one.

In the meantime, I am very pleased.  I couldn't have arrived at this point
without your response to my plea for help.  I don't know what we would do
without this Echo and all the people who still have such a strong interest
in the Rainbow.  Thanks again for all your assistance!!
