I would check the SWR and if it’s OK, just leave it alone and use it. I got an old Hy Gain antenna that I use. I have had it up since the 80s and it still works very well. I changed the coax about two or three years ago because SWR’s were going up and I realized it was water intrusion in the...
There is a way to make an adapter from the plug-in RJ-45 to a four pin Cobra, Uniden configuration. I’ve been using a Turner +3 desk Mike, the gray one with my Antone Radio. You would need to cannibalize a microphone that will plug into the Antone, you need to find the audio wire, the ground and...
