Dont remember sayin that but o well..#### heat is killen my idle time..From parkin lot to pilot store i need about 1.5 liters of water..sheesh..its 6pm local and still 95 and burnin the skin off me..
I did a quick google of the rig master after and saw it as a tuner..
Compared my mfj to two others and they were all basically the same so its gotta be the low power issue or user..
Used my mfj to test my coax and marks,almost same velocity factor,almost same loss but just way to different ##..The ant man here said same as i have..#'s dont lie but they seem to in my case...As posted earlier with coax..All was as in the pic rabbi posted but my ohm meter leeds wouldnt go from ant to frame..Ill wait till its cooler in a cpl day up the road..

 

Craig, I would not compare the numbers but rather see if you can calibrate it - something that should be done every once in a while.

There is also another factor that isn't mentioned about these AA that needs to be discussed, they are not accurate in high rf pollute environment, they can give erroneous readings.

And no matter what is said, it is difficult to accurately measure coax losses with an AA.

 

He should set up his personal vehicle as a testing center for his equipment. If he had an antenna on his personal vehicle it would be really easy to plug things in and test them to figure out what is good and what is not good.
Trying to set something up on the Cascadia is a nightmare for many people. It's really easy to drive yourself crazy wondering what's wrong.
Having a personal vehicle with an antenna system makes it really easy to test things out.
