That’s what I thought but I found lots of pics online of new and original penetrators with the short side up

To me, you have it correct. Notice the larger flange is below support bracket. Alot of drawings are not to scale.

    Hello I have a old school 2950 receives great on all modes and transmits great on AM but no transmit on SSB. Does anyone have any idea?
