What do you have handy? How nutty are you?
If you have 50 ft of something, give it a try.
I'm assuming you can try it easily, for example by tossing the
There appears to be three software-monitoring programs available, GPSCon
Pro, GPS Control SatStat. I was just curious about what the group thinks
of these three programs or if there are any other available.
The Z3801A manual suggest rg-213 of lmr-400. I have neither on hand but am

Satstat has no graphical interface, and it was so old that it was really

Hi Jeff-
I have only used SatStat with my Z3801A, and it did take a while to get it set

Hi,
I am in the process of setting up a Z3801A and would like to know what type of
cable I should use for a 50' run to an 58532A antenna.
