    As the saying goes, "Pay once, cry once".

    Congrats!

    I tell people the test is actually trying to navigate the FCC website and application process.

    Ohhhh, the irony of the irony…

    Booooom!

    I use both methods, depending on the changes I need to make.

    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!

    Sounds reasonable. Thank you for not sending us into a differential equation coma.

    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!

    New theory... RF electricities centripetal fars.

    Ahhhh... RF electricities centripetal force.

    I live in NorCal and the traffic is pretty civil. I frequently visit SoCal and some repeaters around Los Angeles are a free-for-all jungle.

    Are they better than a straight mobile antenna of the same height (not length)? Is there a compromise? Is performance advantage material dependent?

    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?

    Great questions and replies!

    Generator.

    Off roading, hiking, and back up comms when the local cell towers lose power (thank you PGE PSPS) or are overrun during wildfires, "atmospheric rivers", snowmageddon, etc.

    I know people that conduct official back country (access by ski, snowshoe and/or helicopter) snow surveys in the Sierras. Their appeal for this brand is its alleged ability to function at very low temperatures.
