update to vhf radio and antenna install
This is turning out to be one of the more frustrating things for such
a simple little project.
I returned the BNC fitting today in exchange for a PL-259 and got the
BNC adapter at Radio Shack. So I'm figuring I'm all set and jammed up
right. Get back to the house excited about finishign the project and
I put the fittings together to test fit, put it in place in the
antenna and see that the fittings themselves are protruding from the
cable and that the mount that the antenna screws into, isn't wide
enough to accomodate the fittings. I guess now it is back to the
drawing board to get a new mount that will accomodate this mess.
