I don't think mine comes with a plastic sleeve, but maybe I can make my own. Something to think about. Thanks for the idea. From what I have read they are prone to snapping off, so I guess that part is pretty crappy on their part. Once I actually see it Iam sure I can come up with something. Any...

Waiting on my new antenna to arrive and been thinking of ways to strengthen it up. This is certainly one long whippy antenna. I can't use guy wires. I do plan on using extra clamps at the joints but I wonder what else I could do. Height is gonna be limited, max 30'. Any ideas would be greatly...

Thank you, decided to go with the1/2 wave from walmart. I would have never thought to look at walmart. Free shipping, thats a big plus!

I have only seen 1/2 wave any ideas where I could find a 5/8 wave?

Thanks for responding, I will check them both out.

Any suggestions on a place to buy quality coaxial cable ? I am looking for soldered ends of good quality. The places I have found online don't go into a lot of detail. I need about 60 feet and all I can find is 100 or 75 feet. I have thought about using a barrel connecter on some coax I...

Thank you, lots of good info.

Thank you, I was wrong about the cord I just hard wire it.

Yep, It takes two wires not a plug in cord. I had just glanced at it and mistook the screw down lugs as a plug in, if that makes any sense. Thanks for responding!

RM Italy KL503HD Amp, where would you find a power cord for one of these? Do these amps work on 11 meters straight out of the box? I had one given to me but it has no power cord. They also told me it would work on the cb band, Thanks for any clarification.

Thank you, and it's still working fine!

Well, seems like the problem is solved. Thank you again superlid. I hooked up a volt meter to the 10 amp power supply and it would spike to 16 volts when I would talk. That is when the radio would stop transmitting and BATHI would appear. Man I dont know why I could not translate that into...

Yep , that makes sense. I will check it . thanks.

Ok, I will check it , it's a 13.8 volt 10 amp regulated supply. I will do that later today since I don't have my meter here with me. I have a larger power supply coming today. According to the manual it requires 10 amps at modulation so may be that has something to do with it, I dont know. May I...

The meter on radio does not show over 1.5. I am afraid if I disable it I may burn something up. The radio cuts transmission off and reverts to receive. the display will read BATHI, which after some digging around I found it is a trouble code for swr. Thank you for responding.
