A note about coax and portable radios. A direct connection is like a
dachshund with a 50 pound tail. Use a shielded audio patch cable for the
last few feet to the radio. It will take the strain off your connector. That
is the reason for the F in and RCA out on the static discharge unit on my
website. Makes it easy to use an audio patch cord.









Connecting the center wire of the coax to the whip will work but it
negates the purpose of using coax as the lead-in conductor. The proper
method is to install a connector on the coax which will plug into the
external antenna jack on the radio. This way you're connecting the
shield of the coax to the radio's electrical ground system which might
help to reduce noise.

It's time to build and see what happens.
