The comments regarding the connectors were that they were secure, not well made.
Also, that SMA, not SMA-RP, connectors are used.

We have seen professionally made cables fall apart.

I left out a filter(not FA but effectively the same thing) on one setup a few weeks ago. Went from 150-200 aircraft to 2.

It is also possible that there isn’t much noise in your area.
