Default measurement error or bad coax??

Dan, you are a master of asking questions with partial / unreliable
information... and you have done it again!

Doesn't the Belden cable have a legible type marking?

How much RG58 did you add? (Why?)

What frequency did you make the measurement?

Was it 30+j0?

What was the objective of the measurement? If it was to determine
cable loss, does the Autek book give you a procedure for doing that?


Three additional questions:

What was connected to the far end of the coax when you made the measurement?

How did you determine that the combination cable was one wavelength long?

What was the angle of the impedance, or the resistive and reactive (R
and X) parts?
