That got the leakage within limits and it made the ingress go away. (Yay)

I've had to deal with cable leakage problems generating interference
to commercial services. Cable CH18 also covers the 2m band.

Most of the time, it's the ring type crimp F connectors like this:

that caused problems. Occasionally, some really bad RG-59/u with
maybe 50% coverage on the shield. Other times, it various cable
amplifiers, splitters, and devices, usually with unterminated ends or
ports. Lots of ways to do it wrong.

So, what did the Cox guy find? I'm nosey.
