I can find faults on 3000 ft cable runs within a few feet, so I'm sure you could get within that range.

That will save you time.

Thank you all for the replies, I didn't know the 259B will do this.

I'm off to remove the antenna from the coax and will come back in try
and follow the directions in the manual I downloaded. I bought the
259B on fleabay as a LCD replacement to the MFJ-207 SWR analyzer for
pruning my antenna wires and I've never used it for anything else.

Silver lining: This is a perfect day a test of my Weller PSI100K
Portasol butane soldering iron I got last summer. I've got a couple
hand warmers started to keep the butane warm while I'm outside, the
butane pressure drops with cold temps. I don't have 350 feet of
extension cord and could never repair it outside without something
portable.

Here's hoping it's not to hard to follow the instructions accurately,
find the bugger & then resolve. I've got a bad right foot so the less
trips out into the snow will make it easier on me.

thanks!
