Hi Chrissie, all you need to extend the coax on your mag mount is a shourt piece of coax with a connector on each end and a barrel connector, with is nothing more than a back to back female connector. They are also known as couplers. I'm sure I have an extra one or two laying around, and an extra coax cable, if you want to write me off list, I would be happy to send them to you! I know what it is like when getting to the nearest Radio Shack can be a major project! GRIN! My e-mail address is: [log in to unmask] Or You can call me at: 480-671-7912 Or catch me on my echo link node, wich KG7FA-L and the node number is: 91232 Back when I still lived in Detroit, we used to call 440 the band of inches! You can literally move an inch or 2 and it can make the differents between no signal and good copy! Have a good one: John John Jacques Amateur Radio Station: KG7FA "Where Cat Is, Is Civilization!"
