    at 16:45 or so you mention a big hole and should be sealed to keep bugs out. They make a rubber boot for coax that will clamp on pvc pipe. Google "Site Pro 1 Boot Assembly Kit" they make them with various number of holes and sizes for various coax and hardlines.

    The NANO VNA is a great troubleshooting tool when trying to isolate cable faults at existing AVDL and cellular sites, either on turn up or on a trouble call. We quickly verify where the fault is located, correct it, and when the fault is corrected and all the antenna lines look good on the Nano VNA, then we call the tech with the Anritsu SiteMaster, FieldFox or similar to do the sweeps for the customer turn up package.

    @parochial2356 7 месяцев назад

    One question I have that was not addressed; the "Do not go inside a residence..." caution, but then the FCC instructs a licensee to make contact and go into the residence. The implication is [I think] that the FCC has gave him the authority as an implied agent of the Fed/FCC to do so. Does the FCC have the legal authority to "deputize" a licenses? I wonder if statute or case law has ever addressed the potential personal civil liability of this? Being an FCC employee is one thing but a licensee allegedly [now] having the authority to further track down the cause by entering the premises and doing further testing is another. Great presentation, all hams, especially new licensees, should watch this so they will have an idea of how to approach this if and when they encounter it.

    40 years ago at the old QTH i had problems with neighbours both next door and three doors away. 100 Watts and a long wire. I sorted one with a simple braid breaker on his t.v., the other with a ferrite ring partially sorted it and a t.v. engineer came round and said there's only a problem when I transmit. Great! He had no idea what to do. Both three doors away had problems with t.v. and hi-fi. I called the G.P.O. and he gave me the all clear and went to the neighbours to explain. They still complained, even coming round when I was asleep in a chair. Badly made equipment. 33 years here and not one complaint, 5 Watts, nobody has asked what the wires are in my garden. Now get S8 noise 160 to 20m from broadband which I hope will disappear as fibre replaces wire. G4GHB.
