Hi Rich!
Could someone please post the Radio Shack part number for the SWL
antenna used as a counterpoise? I've searched the archives and see
lots of references but can't find the original post with the PN.
According to www.radioshack.com, the part number is
278-1374. It is a 23-foot wire on a reel, with a clip that
goes over a telescoping whip. Retail price is US$ 8.95 and
available in stores or through the web site.
For mine, I cut off the clip that was on there and replaced
it with an alligator clip so it could go on my 817's grounding
post. Still need to test it out, which I will do this
weekend at home or around AZ since my car got smashed in a
hit-and-run and I can't take my loaner car to Mexico :( which
I had planned before the wreck last week.
Also, anyone know a source for a one piece "PL-259-elbow-BNC"
connector, or do I need to put 2 connectors together?
FWIW I haven't seen any.
