Thanks L.C.,

Well, the weather finally broke & yes! I was able to install the LMR-400 coax, and my home made RF choke balun. I have posted a few new pictures of my Imax 2000 & the mods in my profile if anyone cares to check it out. My oldest son & I did all of the mods last weekend but as I was nearing getting my radio back online, as fate would have it, I messed up the last PL-259 amphenol connector I needed to hook up my coax to the radio. Yes, L.C. I shorted it out from too much solder flow from too much heat. I am finding out that it's not so easy soldering these on. But I did learn a thing or two from my mistake. So I am not able to share with any of you any results from my efforts just yet. But as soon as I get more connectors in, I'll be here to share my findings. I am hoping tomorrow or so I will be back up and running. But this time, I will be taking my time.
