.....Bit bucket line.

We've used the older (~6 months ago) TCL transceivers extensively without
any problems, either with their design, or with our installation, except
for an installer who didn't quite get the hole clean before he screwed
in the tap.  The installation process is pretty simple.  The only caveat
is that after you cut out the jacket, braids, and foil, you have to be
sure that all little strands of wire are gone from the hole.  In one
instance such a strand shorted the tap to the shield, causing massive
quantities of collisions.  After we get some experience with the new 
transceivers, I'll let you know how they work.
