> According to the manual, the unit can be set to any
frequency within its range, and will read out a direct
return loss number at that frequency, if the coax is open at
the other end.

If the manuals says that, someone changed it and it is

The manual should have  warning or caution say you can do
that ONLY if the line is 50 ohm line along the entire
length.

What does the manual say?
