Well got the fiberglass pole up today. Radio is working fine without the grounding cable or wire I was going to use.

The pole itself is a bit on the weak side. I'll definitely need to guy this pole if I go beyond the 20ft mark. Right now it's like a large fishing pole.

30ft like I wanted is going to be out of the question with this pole. Until they come out with the larger diameter lower portions of the pole. I was told they were making larger diameter poles for the bottom sections soon. So, I guess I'll have to wait till they come out.

I sure had a hard time putting on the Pl-259 connectors though. But, I guess I did it right , or else it wouldn't be working. LOL

[QUOTE="4600turbo, post: 109810, member: 1834"] Well got the fiberglass pole up today. Radio is working fine without the grounding cable or wire I was going to use. The pole itself is a bit on the weak side. I'll definitely need to guy this pole if I go beyond the 20ft mark. Right now it's like a large fishing pole. :) 30ft like I wanted is going to be out of the question with this pole. Until they come out with the larger diameter lower portions of the pole. I was told they were making larger diameter poles for the bottom sections soon. So, I guess I'll have to wait till they come out. I sure had a hard time putting on the Pl-259 connectors though. :) But, I guess I did it right , or else it wouldn't be working. LOL :) [/QUOTE]
