From: "farmrjohn" I have a Yaesu handheld radio that has both VHF comm and nav capability. The plane has what i believe is a VOR antenna with the cable coming to the cockpit, but the VOR receiver is no longer installed. Can that antenna be used instead of the rubber ducky antenna on the handheld? And if so, what kind of extension cable should I get since the plane's cable stops under/behind the panel which isn't conducive to using the handheld unit?

If tie-wraps hadeyes, they'd be bugging out.Then cut off the extreme end of the plasticbag just inside the seal line.* I've now forgotten where I read a ridiculously easy tip that has worked for me for years. When you get your bag of tie-wraps slit it in the *middle and across* the direction the tie-wraps lay in the bag. They won't fall out and it's easy to reach in and pull one (it has to bend, of course) out the slit.
