Coax lengths into a CM0549

Hi All:

Quick question - when connecting a YA-1713 and a 91XG into a CM0549, is there any reason why the coax lengths from the antennas would need to be identical? I've read about using identical lengths when combining identical antennas for same-band use, but since these are for VHF and UHF separately, and the CM0549 is supposed to separate the bands, I'm thinking there's no reason for identical lengths in this situation (and it would avoid having unnecessary extra length in one coax line). Thanks in advance...

You are correct. When joining antennas in this way, the different cable lengths will not matter.
