Hint loss.. Put a 2" wide copper strap to the frame after grinding down to
metal and using Penetrox to seal the connection. Had to change the match at

If you use a mag-mount for an HF whip, be sure to use one with three magnets,
not one. I tried a Hustler 17-m whip with a one-magnet mount, and it tipped
over at freeway speeds.
I agree that the capacitance of a mag-mount is insufficient. The coax braid may
actually be serving as the better

Hi Gerry,
If I'm using the rig HT-style (/PM, or pedestrian mobile), I just connect the
whip directly. The KX3's BNC connector is rigidly attached to the right side
panel, with a D-shaped bushing so it can't rotate, and a flexible wire from the
BNC's hot lead to the PCB. So you won't hurt
