There is some other voodoo in progress. I will try every other reasonable option before I throw them over the cliff. The last call I will make is to Klaus.

Jones" Not yet. I have a bunch of things "not on my website" or "not in my catalog" or "has no price and no production plans". This tends to reduce the sales volume a bit, but not always. -------- Eric M.

I believe the coax that I have is a double shielded type but it isn't RG400 -- it has a bright yellow outer jacket. How do I terminate this coax cable to this antenna? Do I just crimp PIDG terminals (or solder suitable lugs?) to the braided shield and to the center conductor? I'd also use some heat-shrinked tubing. Is anything more than this required?
