I recently put up a new Star Duster with 50 feet of Times Microwave LMR-400 and temporarily hooked it up in the basement and had a 1 point nothing SWR needless to say I was very happy about this install so far but rerouting the input from where I wanted to bring the coax in from out side left me short so I bought 10 feet of cable and installed the radio in the house and now had a swr of 1.4 well this was not so good knowing my station is capable of perfect swr's so a few months later I put another 2 foot jumper inline to see what if any difference it would make and my swr's are nearly 1.0 again. So that's my story not sure if this info helps anyone out but I feel better now seeing nearly perfect swr's.
