Good idea with the cable. I did the same. I'll put some shrink or plastic tube on the end so it doesn't short something out.

The computer connected to the radio, I DL'd the radio memory, made a few changes, and UL'd it. Easy Peasy. The radio name is now MYK-1.

I noticed band D is preset for 11m channels. Nice.

Right now I'm limited to a mobile antenna on top of the dryer. SWR is under 2:1. It's a bit cold out for me to be climbing to the roof to put the Sirio antenna up. I've been picking up a few stations this morning, just not going to try raising them.

Good deal, you're on the right road. That standing wave is a little high for comfort and those 13n10's won't like it either. I'd be hesitant to transmit with it too.
