    Solder?

    Amphenol makes both inexpensive and expensive PLs, gotta look at the part number, unless you're familiar with what the Teflon and silver plating are supposed to look like.

    HR2510

    I bought a bunch of bare connectors and pins for both the power and accessory jack on the 2510 and can supply you the necessary ones to make new plugs if you buy it. Shoot me a PM if you buy the radio.

    Gijoeselectronics.com

    I would go with DTB. Other places might have lower prices, but once you send it somewhere else for a proper tune, you've paid the same or more. Shipping isn't cheap!

    Tuning 102" Whip?

    Sorry, I misunderstood your post.

    Tuning 102" Whip?

    Hey there, thanks for the replies everyone. The auto is not bonded. Where do you guys buy those bonding straps? The previous antenna (Wilson 5000) tuned very well without bonding IIRC. I have read K0BG's site, very informative for sure. I'll take another look. I don't recall exactly...

    Tuning 102" Whip?

    I'm considering just ditching the whip and going with a Predator 10k, which I'm sure would be easier to tune. Any suggestions as to what model? (Single coil, competition, Bad to the Bone) And what length shaft? I know you want the coil over the roofline, but seeing as this is mounted on the...
