I'm not terribly pleased with Fordham Radio. I went in on a group order
of various stuff from them, and bought an RF preamp for TV antenna systems.
I should have sent it back when it arrived; it came in a blister-pack which
had been opened and resealed, and had marks on it which indicated that
it might have been used. I tried using it and never could get any
evidence that it worked. (The only way I think you could determine
that would be to have a UHF signal generator and a wideband scope,
and look at the input and output; I don't.) It has been farmed out to other
people who may or may not be trying to use it; I'm just hoping that
somebody will buy it from me for some fraction of its price.

I never thought that their test equipment prices were low enough,
either, and they have a bad habit of not using Reader-Service
numbers on their ads in the electronics magazines, which annoys
me. So, on the whole, I don't recommend them.
