Larry,
I have installed a number of Sinclair VHF antennas, but have not seen
this "pigtail" on any of them. What is the model number of the
antenna? I suggest you contact the factory for an explanation.

We just purchased a new Sinclair 2-Meter Collinear antenna for our
2-Meter Repeater to replace a similar Celwave "Stationmaster" antenna
that was about 14 years old (turns out we probably really didn't need
to, it still looks almost brand new).

The new Sinclair 2-Meter antenna arrived (ordered for our 2-Meter
channel) and we found a second cable going into the base of the antenna.
There's the main antenna connector, and there's also a short length of
what appears to be RG-142 cable, hanging out and going nowhere. We've
worked with many of these "Stationmaster" type collinear antennas for
many years, but have never seen anything like this. The instruction
sheet and frequency sweep don't mention anything about this loose cable
going into the antenna. Has anyone else seen this and know what it's
for?...
