Coax connector extension availability ????

If everything is done right with the antenna installation there shouldn't be any change to SWR, especially with such a small extension. As a general rule in a base station setup, if changing the length of any coax changes the SWR significantly, then there are other problems with the antenna or coax. SWR should NOT change when coax length changes.
Last night before bed I decided to use the double male and double female connectors I already had so I cleaned every connection with alcohol and applied dielectric grease to every application and tightened them well. Then I hooked it to my Q6 Pro after cleaning & greasing that connector and was amazed at the SWR. Almost a flat-liner on every channel. So now I can't wait for the DX to get rolling.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
