Just picked one of these up to check swr and I was wondering if it makes a difference which connection you hook the antenna to and which you hook the patch cable to since it doesn't say on the back or in any documentation.
Thanks!

As a rule the antenna goes on the outside so-239 connector ( LOAD ) and the jumper to the radio on the one more or less in the center.
I have a simular one with the antenna matcher it is not bad for 30 bucks ....Attached Files:

Bruce, you may have stumbled onto something there. If we could just get the match to < 1:1 we may be in the realm of room temperature fusion & free energy. Think of the boon to radio ops everywhere if we could increase their power output and RX gain with a passive device, and a $30 one at that!

Reminds me of a APRIL Story in a radio mag about a passive linear amp.
You run 6 inch hard line into RG-174 it compresses the radio field and the waves come out of the RG-174 with great force ( just like water out of a fire hose ) and you were LOUD and proud
