The discone is a Diamond D-130NJ with a CAB cxp1318fn-50 50' cable ... and
now I see the problem. I though I was purchasing a discone that can listen
from 25 through 1300 MHz, and the paperwork here says, "50 - 1300 Mhz." I
guess I need to purchase a different antenna.

This is not a very good SW antenna. You need an antenna from this page
from the same vendor.

Or get yourself an antenna book like the one in the following link and
put something together yourself for less money.
