Well you are right on as far as how I had my test of the preamp set up. I had a 5' cable from rig to preamp, and then another 5' cable from preamp to antenna. I may just do as you suguested and try it inline when the antennas come. I may just do that. But it still is funny how the s/n dident change .. if my eyes were closed.. I wouldent have known the preamp was on.

I'll keep every one posted as things here progress.
