"Oops! I ended up buying a different sma to uFL cable that had a RP SMA bulkhead fitting on it. That way I could just screw the antenna on it without an adapter that Mark Cowell uses. Then I bought some RP sma connectors for my RG316 cable when I'm…"

"North Liberty is between Coralville and Cedar Rapids. I have a DX7 and just ordered the 500mw amplifier. Is you mod still working well and are there any other things I should know that isn't mentioned on the Forum.

Crist"
