I guess no one noticed the connector is an SO-239, not N.

So it will either be a MaxRad or a Ringo. Its incredibly light, and it looks very much like a light saber, which is what I am almost inclined to use it for, if it wasnt worth a few bucks! :) Its nice to know this may be frequency adjustable. I just wanted to be sure, now I am more sure than I started with. Thanks for the responses so far! John Hymes La Rue Communications 10 S.

I wouldn't use it for anything important. Cushcraft started the design with their "Ringo" series, then several others copied the design. They were inexpensive, which was the only good feature.

I have an antenna that I found. It has no stickers of any kind, except for the "This will kill you if you touch a wire" sticker on it. Pictures attached are all I have. Its an N type connector and is roughly 4 feet in length. Is there any way to ID this with your traditional shop equipment? Thanks in advance! By the way, Kevin Custer, please email me! Thanks!
