    I don’t know if there is an optimal length or not.

    Originally I had the TG XL in the shack and 35 ft lengths of LMR400 to the AG. Now that everything is rack mounted in a server cabinet in my garage, I am using two pieces of LMR400 Ultraflex that are premade and 6 feet each. I am using 3 foot LMR400 betweenPG XL and LP700 couplers, then 3 foot lengths from couplers to TG XL

    There is no suggested length.

    If you were just using 1 band, then, yes, there would be a suggested length.

    But, since we use multiple bands, there is no practical answer.

    There is no reason that the AG can't be 200' away from the TG.
