I have 480' of lmr600 that has developed a short.
The shack end measures 1.2 ohms either w or w/o connector.
Likewise the distant end measures 1.7 ohms using a VOM.
Setting the Sark110 to cable test of LMR600, and measuring from the
distant end, markers indicates the short to be 396' down the coax. So far so good.
Now, measuring from the connector on the shack end no indication of a short- just a flat green line out 900x feet. I surmise the connector is ok, as the dc resistance is the same measured at the connector - or removing it and measuring cemter to shield.
Changing to quarter, octave, sixteenth is consistent in showing no short from shack end even tho i measure 1.2 ohm with an ohm meter.
I am left not understanding how I cannot see the short from the shack end- it should be something over 82' from the shack end.
BTW, the run of coax went down 20yrs ago and tree roots make it a challenge to just pull up the coax.
