I bought mine in 1985 when I got my HR2510 replacing the Rat Shack big blue stick I believe then it was the newest greatest thing out. The patent was filled July 21 1981. It was a great antenna talked all over the world didn't have any complainant except one guy said I bleed all over him I still...
I would say the radials a friend had the same setup as mine but he had the radial kit he would always ask who I was talking to in the early morning hours it was this guy going to work three county's away around 100 miles and other people in different country's
The 5/8 wave is the top out of gain on an antenna from there to full wave it just doesn't get any higher also the 5/8 has the lowest take off angle better for shooting skip now then if you build a 3/1 wave that is different if you need something simple and easy to hide go with the I max 2000...
Just to check cables you could just use a light bulb and battery (continuity tester) but any multi meter will work it's like everything else you get what you pay for I love my BK hand held had it since the 80's it dose volts AC/DC, OHMS, DIODES, CAPS, TRANSISTORS, and AMPS be very careful on the...

The ones I have seen are mini 8 so should be fine if it is not a cheap import copy :lol: you could run that to the amp mount the amp close to the antenna then hard line to the antenna. I would be more concerned about running an amp on a motorcycle there...
I know the web site your talking about I can't find it either it was great info on his experiments on 1/4, 1/2, & 5/8 with radials including 90deg and sloped from 1/8 to 5/8 ground radial length in the end I believe he found a 5/8 radiator with one sloped 5/8 length ground radial to be the best...
I used a VHF first then used an antenna tuner on it for CB it worked local so I built one for CB a reflector and driven fill wave quad with two 1/4 Yagi directors worked as good as the neighbors moon raker. The next one I liked better it had a folded reflector and driven quad or dipole not sure...
Looks like the SO239 is on the single down leg I believe the original is on the side with the upper and lower legs.
