    IRRC, and i usually do recall stuff well, Francis recommended 18 feet first for their pretumed antennas. I have no idea why Firestick did that, too, and Wilson had a tunable system, note the past tense 'had', that also utilized a half wave length of coax for a CB, again IIRC.

    18 feet of cable Isn't a half wave at 11 meters @ 2/3 the speed of light.
    different cables have different velocities

    Ok, well crap, I guess I didn't buy an SC504. It's an SC502... only 15mhz.
    @rabbiporkchop wasn't that link you sent me for a 504? I could have swore that's what it said when I first read it. But I just went back and looked at the order confirmation... nope... says 502.

    Ah well, I guess I'll play with it for a while to maybe learn what I really need. Probably overpaid for the dang thing too, lol.

    The Mainframe had a 5:02 which pulls right out in the 504 can plug right in

    That Mainframe is pretty cool all the components are modular and slide in and out for easy replacement

    I'll get back to you with the part number for a killer Spectrum analyzer that slides right into the unit
