Personally I saw the Lautus as a sort of mark 2 Cusat50 for longer cables... So it is an interesting idea. What else could be added in a mark 2?

I did try to explain the physics regarding the Lautus cables, and why they had to have the length they have, but somebody describing himself as a 'university lecturer' (anonymously), was able to get the law (the government controlled ASA) to take it down. Freedom of speech depends on our dystopia's interpretation of the truth, and where you are in the food chain.
The Lautus idea was based on applying inductance to nodes and antinodes. I see the 'law' has been unsuccessful in removing this, or is simply ignorant of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(physics) (probably because the link doesn't work, but it came up as the result for a Google search for nodes and antinodes in cables) My problem is I don't have the laboratory gear to generate the high MHz frequencies which the theory of the Lautus design 'exploits'. My spend on analytical test gear is already disproportionate (means versus size), to just about every other manufacturer. Where I can irrefutably prove the electronics side of things through measurement and publish anything they want to try me with, I am unable to do the same with cables, and so there will not be any Mk2.

The cables do sound better and I've used your methodology on other cables, thank you Graham. It's probably a dead issue now but what if the ferrites stopped a DAB receiver getting its signal?

I think that's a good suggestion Geoff. My was much more basic. If DAB frequencies are one of the main offenders there is the test signal. Use a longish Cusat cable in the atntenna download and swap it over to a Lautus of the same length. Maybe I have misunderstood. |

Info from my son:- "Not quite sure what's going on in this thread but if you want to check out the capability, you were watching me use a NanoVNA V2, mine has SMA(F) connections on the ports. Lots of info on the web about them and I haven't even scratched the surface, I'm just doing the simplest of measurements (VSWR). Have a search around and see if it suits." I had a quick look and the gear costs around £80. Only Graham can really say if this is of any use to him. Edited by gwebster - 15 Aug 2021 at 1:06pm |
