    How can cable length affect receive?

    I guess this partially explains why I hear things from such a great distance.

    For the average user like me Im in over my head with cable length etc.

    I was told once upon a time if you had sufficient power on a long enough antenna with a sense of OM loud enough to overcome the tower of babel that is our entire Interstate system you should be able to communicate with anyone you wish.

    When a output/input is NOT tuned correctly cable length will make a difference.

    However you can't sell the secret cable length.

    I agree but if you watched it, there is something wrong with something he did. I won't get into what it is because as I said I won't because to me it doesn't matter.

    I don't need test equipment to be able to hear twice as far out of my mobile as you can hear from your big base antenna. when I can hear Jason from twice as far away as you and I can hear you struggling to hear him or not quite being able to make out what he's saying when you are half the distance away it tells me there's something unique going on with my receiver.

    you also have lots of elevation compared to me I’m river level with lots of mountains to go through big difference elevation and take off angle are big factors
    I can go sit on that same mountain and get the same results.

    That's a big assumption since you never experienced the full potential of your receiver and since it has been tampered with, the performance will always be less as you noticed but won't admit in this forum.
