Yeah, but Steve, that doesn't help me with the TS480 in the shack!
Maybe I could find some sort of a crawl space in the basement to put the
radio, but then I'd have to buy the extension kit which is more money.
Maybe that's the idea that Kenwood is trying to sell!
Anyway, seriously, I'm sure I'll get used to it, since I've gotten used to
all the other ones I have floating around here in my various rigs.
