Pj,

Which is no more help when connecting the unit than having no labels at all. When I had my
7500 installed I had to look at Seth's installation to determine which one was which.

LOL I know the feeling. Program up NOAA weather take the antenna and see which one the RX improves on.

I wouldn't mind getting all the labels either.

Common sense would suggest the labels should be "Low Band" and "High Band" since you can only have two bands and one must always be lower/higher than the other?

But then again, since when does common sense come into it!

Why not just a brother p-touch or some other label writer?

Jeff,

That's exactly what I finally did. The small type option on a P-Touch makes good
small labels that can be cut down to fit in the small flat spaces near the antenna
connections on the 7500. I did at the time make a mnemonic something like "left/
UHF, right/VHF," but as you might imagine I've now forgotten it (advancing age!).
