I Think if you look in the sirio catalogue dv leads etc are 4m, but the ml145pl is deffo 3.6m, i've repaired enough of them, also straight out the box as the factory couldn't even put them on the correct screw thread and people were coming to me with 3:1 swr's they couldn't budge, once i tested with an avo meter i noticed the only thread with continuity wasn't the one thats normally a different shape to the rest which the shield had been connected too, as soon as i put the shield contact on the one with continuity rectified the swr issues, i've had 3 out the box in glasgow to do, possibly a faulty batch.Same fix sorted them all,

others i've had the centre pin coax inner fall right off with factory soldering, the solution for that was to file the inner pin and tin pin and coax before soldering, I can only say what i see

the sirio catalogues make a lot of claims about dbi gain on mobiles, they have some very clever design engineers but i fear their workforce ain't as clever.
