Does it have to be set up at 12ft to operate? (i.e- can you do 4 or 8 ft configuration if needed?)

No you can set it up in 4,8 or 12 but remember the track wheels are fixed length so you don't actually get 12 feet of tracking more like 2.5, 6.5 and 10.5 respectively.

WOW! It has been a short while since I installed this. It is flexible and I believe it extends 4-6 feet. There is a suggested limit on it and you don't want to go too far for the best operation. Remember to follow manufacture instruction for best results!

8 feet to 9 feet but I did not unplug it from computer. I used 1 foot x 1 foot floor tiles to measure it. I say more 9 feet but its definitely not 12 feet. plenty log enough for my setup.

The one I installed was 124 feet. It works very well It does not fail, at all

I never tried to extend it much beyond the 4 feet. But please for your own sake, do not buy this waste of money! It... Does... Not....work!

hi it needs to be really close, for normal mode.if you want to use for 5 feet it answer when you put it on maximum power...

not sure, but it's large - 8ft definetely, you'll need an ancor for better stability

24 feet. It's best to have it setup around 20 feet. Hope this helps. thanks.

Mine has successfully worked at distances up to 75 feet. This is of coarse with no obstructions such as walls.

Yes, I am currently using a 100ft of it with a full-size loop on 75 meters (240ft length) and 1500 watts SSB. If you keep the SWR below 3:1 there should be no problems. If using a mode with continuous carrier it should probably be de-rated to 1000 watts for reliability.W3SYH, Nuclear Physicist

I have a wave 8, and it works fine at 7,000 to 8500 ft. hope this helps. RJS

Probably 4-6 feet, though 6 would be quite steep. Mine is at 5 feet and works well.

Ooh, that's tough. The pole definitely won't extend to 12ft - maybe 10 or so. As it's pressure mounted, you'd have to build something to decrease that distance. Maybe something like a small stage on the floor? That or a block of some type on the ceiling though it would be hard to make it stable enough...

Not above 4000 feet it doesn't... I read that in someones review but it is not noted in the instructions that come with the unit.

Yes it can I don't know how long before having issues I added ~12 ft. To mine

Nothing else needs to be done. Just set it up per the simple instructions. ..that's it. The effective range is only 10 to 30 ft so your neighbors will not benefit from it.

Nope. Gonna have to use an extension cord. It might be around 50ft. Not absolutly positive but its still a lil handy thing.
