And just to be clear I'm not saying that any coax length fixes your SWR.

I mean, thats kind of loaded statement dont you think? The difference in measurement is easily seen with different length coaxes, especially if they are at weird multiples. Especially if you are looking into, say , the input tuning network of an amplifier. Im not saying youre wrong, but you are...

You are not an idiot but for that money i would have gotten an alpha 9500 with auto tune. Just under $9k. And you can put a brick on the key and walk away

The problem is multi faceted. You have a company that makes the cheapest versions of every ham product imaginable. They also fabricate alot of what they sell. Good labor aint cheap and cheap labor aint good. On top of that hams are cheap tbh. The only way to make a profit in the amp business...

The mfj antenna analyzers actually work really well when they work . And they are fairly intuitive for a few operations. Certainly simpler than a nano vna.

And that 7200 I think is not with an eiMac tube

They dont seem to put their best on the phone.. then again, maybe they do.

Even though their prices are literally 100% higher than they were less than 20 years ago on their amplifiers, it's still hard to find a comparable ham amplifier for the same price. Except for some of their bigger stuff, when you're looking at $8,000 for a 1500 A7 box. I mean at that point you...

It won't. I just got two. Im not mad, ill use them on my other Wilson antennas

Look at That you're an amplifier repair guy now

If you can find me universal stingers that are longer than 70 in I'd appreciate it, the longest thing that I can find is a Wilson stinger at 62 or 66 in

Im in the usa

Hmmm .. at $145 shipping...ill pass

So I installed the sirio fighter 5000 the one that folds over, on a Wilson rooftop mount. Worked out great antenna tuned up pretty quick. So far I like it, I would like a replacement stinger though. When I got it in shipping it got bent. I know it doesn't really amount to much but I would like...

Thank you thank you thank you
