I thought I had a coax problem. Every time I tried to check the dc
resistance of a length of coax not connected to anything, I always got a
reading around 1.25 meg. This is not a short nor open line so I checked
another length and got similar results, so I was really baffled. The odd
thing is that both of these coaxes work perfectly when connected to an
antenna. I finally found out what I was doing wrong. I was using probes that
I had to hold with my fingers, so I was really measuring the dc resistance
between my fingers. After watching my fingers, I get infinite dc resistance
like I should. This one really baffled me for some time, I don't wish
something like that to happen again.
