I can’t answer your question.
However, it took watching several YouTube videos for me to get my head into the right space/perspective to successfully use the channel wizard. Once I arrived, it was easy. Hang in there. YOU CAN DO IT!
As noted by WRYZ926, the sequence is a bit difference. Definitely use a standard cable tester and couple the OEM cable to your new cable build for testing. The indicators should light up like a normal cable. FWIW, the extension I made took 6 tries before it was of sufficient quality. Hang in there. YOU CAN DO IT!
O.K., makes sense. Help me catch up…
I didn’t know about the Offline or Stale settings. If I didn’t change either when remote or on site, is there another explanation?
From home I look at the repeater map for places I’m going to visit, then load up the repeater details for use. When I arrive at the location, I recheck the repeater map and see additional available repeaters. Is this possible, or am I crazy, or a bit slow?
I’ve successfully installed connectors on coax for non-radio use. Is there any special attention/handling/tools needed for radio antenna coax connectors?
