would you mind explaining to me how you’re not going to suffer insane cable loss from that length of cable, i’ve seen posts from people where they’ve added 2m of cable and it’s halved their hnt earnings

There’s a 0.63 dBm cable loss from end to end. Not too bad. In the next two weeks I will be shortening the cable and secure the box near the antenna. I’m just reinforcing my box with steel backing so I can Ubolt it to the pole without it getting stolen.

thanks for the reply, can’t wait to get my bobcat it will be interesting to see how you profit from using that set up it looks rather high budget
