Agree, in fact the lowest reactance and lowest VSWR are almost always different.

searched for a manufacturers data sheet and all I could find is a chart for it at !00 MHz, 200 MHx, 400 MHz,ect................. nothing for the lower bands. RG-8X-B Coaxial Cable Specifications: Attenuation Frequency MHz Attenuation dB/100 ft. Attenuation dB/100 m 100 4.05 13.30 200 5.79...

I just l@@ked at one after you posted. Jus a little pricy,... but they do supply two torrids for the power cord:D

it shows that your previous tests @ the radio end were affected by your lossy coax/inline amp/ect. the SWR meter won't "see" anything before it

Are you using an antenna rotator?

SAR... redneck way of pronouncing SIR ... and I usually say "you are______ dB out of the noise"

Sales hype as far a their modeling is concerned. Seems to be made of "heavier" materials than the original

Does it have an internal tone board or an external Pixx dtmf?

in a word ....no.... although there is some minor "phase difference" type radiation from the radials , it is a calculated value only and you won't be able to see it without sophisticated far field measuring equipment. The radials provide a low loss return path.

where does X = 0?

I just spent the last 7 days in a major citys' hospital, there was only me and one other patient on the entire 5th floor. ( the "isolation" floor). The medical staff said they were being called off work because the census (patient load) was so low.

I would rewire the pigtail connector (and obviously the radio connector too) to have the POSITIVE lead be inside the rubber insulator and the ground be on the exposed metal pin. YMMV

just a side note,....new Hawaii 50 shows are cancelled

Circuit breakers protect all the power wiring Fuses protect the individual piece of equipment

... and this dum azzz got a felony battery charge http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/coronavirus/social-distancing-battery-278593

There are 3 (!) different tuning modes on the LDG Manual, "semi" manual, and full auto. the "semi" setting initiates a tune cycle only when your PRESET swr setting is exceeded.

there is no NVIS @ 10 and 20 meters, and very little @ 40.
