[QUOTE="a33, post: 1120582, member: 332642"] 1. You can wiggle the cable where the bend is, while you do the ohm measuring. When the short then disappears, likely the bend causes the problem. (Though you cannot use this reasoning vice versa: when the short does not disappear, there is no garantee that the short is NOT there...) 2. After cutting the cable, you don't have to put on a new F-plug, to do your ohm-measuring again. You can measure your cable at the LNB side, and the small part on your receiver side.... 3. (Added later) I use a tool to screw on the F-connector to the cable, the T-form type e.g. here: xxx.amazon.nl/F-stekker-opdraaiset-opdraaihulp-3-delige-montagesleutel/dp/B00NHQG4K4/ref=asc_df_B00NHQG4K4/?tag=nlshogostdde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=454882191249&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5235926014375045991&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9103798&hvtargid=pla-423167048148&psc=1 It makes the screw-on F-plug much more useable, I find.
