Below I made contact with the "X" Owner

Windows 10 will automatically recognize it in the drop down when given the option in Chirp
Here a thread on Windows 11, I also dont download the software on the manufactures site they send to have random error codes.

If you watch my video, you can see the nice job they do at the factory with the silicone sleeves. Very thick
silicon, really thick, when ordering it gives you this option. Very impressed; think the option is around $7
The fittings are very easily removed, sure its not your first time, it was for me, just a great design

Yes, 50 foot sections are in stock, matter fact never went out of stock; but thats about it, I needed a 12 and 25 foot premade. 50 feet is still in if thats what's needed.

It's one minute and shows a VERY basic set up that allows you to talk all over Southern California. It shows you Grounding which is the most difficult aspect of set up.

50 foot run and VERY flexible, the fittings are such high quality and dissemble in seconds, It you order from Messi Italy they can also weather proof the ends. Im hitting all the repeaters in my area
link goes to my video, its 9 min, I also have a YouTube SHORT thats 1 min that is essentially the same.
-
Gigaparts and Buytwwayradios.com. has been out of stock for awhile, these are the same company I think as I went to Gigaparts next and talked to the same rep... I ordered direct from Italy and had them install the weather proofing, on 3 of the pl259 fittings, one fitting I was going to disassemble/shorten anyway, and was to be indoors unlike the other 3 end pieces. received in 3 days WOW!

This will fit perfect in my Mason Jar

Advice welcome,
I'm returning the lighting arrestor I got, any recommendations or links to the best choices would be cool.

I noticed no one was giving an easy explanation or showing their builds, I also noticed many unanswered questions on the forum. As a YouTuber I understand the only way to get a response/comments is sometimes to be ridiculous. I'm posting pictures of my straight forward build, I will also provide a shopping list for the newbie. Grounding is not rocket science its just some like to over complicate everything, I appreciate the items you posted, these help
Grounding essentials for the shack....great manual thanks again IMG_3762.heic
Here's what I have so far, and I plan on adding a lightening arrestor just before the entry point and ground this to the empty spot on the grounding rod. Then I will pound her down a bit more and that should be good enough
-
Have some M & P Coax coming also, from Italy, the grounding rod also has a spot for my 10 gage that will come from my lighting arrestor. Im higher than the roof lines and at 600 elevation so the valley should be mine
-
It was a joke, I will be posting my grounding images soon, just finished, very easy to explain, and not some rabbit hole of confusion.

Ultraflex 10 Pre assembled factory, tested, PL 259 connectors, Silicon Sealed from the factory , anyone needing info just contact me

Messi & Paoloni Ultraflex 7 verse Messi & Paoloni Ultraflex 10
Seems 7 would be easy to work with on a 45 foot run what are we talking in the real world anyone have experience in this?
Why I'm considering 7? Cheaper, more flex, and in stock, in stock....that 10 Im looking for
-
lol I like the Mason jar idea lol
I was going to do a video on that theory
-
You are awesome! Thank you for that, I think it boils down to most not knowing what they are talking about or have the inability to communicate like yourself. I'm not speaking about the gentlemen here, that have helped me a great deal and I wish to make that crystal clear. They do get a little testy and I tend to push back as a few of my suscribers have felt this and dont understand why, are we not welcome, or are GMRS users looked down on. I like how you explained the difference between commercial, cost and such; very real world realistic. I was an NDIT inspector, very complicated stuff, it was my job to explain to a NON inspector why there 1 billion dollar aircraft is broken, because I said so never would fly.
So because of these fine gentleman and yourself.... the grounding rod is in ground now, and I just purchased a fascia mounted antenna holder rather than doing a $300 pole "tower"
I was a sailor the formula for horizon distance is R≈1.23×h
whin reference to horizon

You just acted like a hors’s ass to one of the best members of this forum.
Thank God for the Ignore list.
you just had to interject yourself now didn't you Cowboy, as a new member of the site I must say my assumptions are ringing true. Hope you take that onboard, as Premium members you all should have nothing to prove, Ive said thank you in almost all my post, asked questions; being humble and respectful to other members. Me pointing out that HAMs tend to be a bit testy .... well your post is just a little ironic is it not? I appreciated your post earlier, even thanked you, and thumbed it up, I still appreciate it. The work that I will do on my property will reflect your inputs thank you once again.
Little advice, what seems simple and what you may see as an ignorant post may be someone just asking a "simple question" these deserve answers and not ridicule. As I mature on this platform I hope I may serve as an example of this.
24 hours ago I saw a Mason Jar as a method of grounding, I have now graduated and will be using lighting arrestors and 8 foot grounding rods. Yea thats a good quote

I guess you missed my post where I asked a simple question?
Seems you are a bit of a Sad Ham as Randy would say, Its a loving and enduring term, my Electrician friend. Life's busy I dont always have time to read through every post or dive into the historical archive. As for razing folks as Randy does, this is how real men bond. My Electrician friends in the Navy it was an awkward process at times. Asking a simple question would get you these odd responses that seemed to come from an angry place or even defensive in nature....because of this we razed them. WHY? to break through that shell, its better than disliking you or getting upset or sad. It's all meant to find some common ground and come together as men. My initial comment above was a cry for help, but also phrased in a way to elicit a response, it was a great opportunity for a big brain ham to practice his mentorship among the little people.
Now I did build my own home from the ground up, also wired it myself, including 2 sub panel's, but thats what I do. Because of this I know just how complicated Electric work is and I had advice all the way through from 2 licensed Electrician's. Life's complicated being humble is important, when Im done I will do a video that explains a simple way of grounding and mounting an antenna, I like to help my fellow GMRS users.
now I will babble a bit
I will ground as per NEC code but the difference between 20 feet up and 15 feet up is a huge pain in the ass. So I think I will try mounting a J bar w/ a 48 inch rise on my eve, rather than pouring a concrete foundation and spending another $300 on a telescoping antenna base. These 20 foot antennas look very getto, so we will see if thats high enough, Im also to close to my power lines for a 20 foot mast for safety. 15 feet up is high enough? Most homes are one story here, so Im making it over roofs. Thats a pretty simple question, but I usually get the answer higher always best, so what the hell does that mean lol

Thank you, my first comment was designed to seek help, worked great, now I really know what's up. See we need to burn down the weeds before planting sometimes.

Bless you brother but if you cant explain it you dont know it well enough and are just repeating something you've heard or not read good enough. I have a gun channel and inspected weapons systems for a living along with other highly technical items, it's ok to not know or not teach well thats fine. Referring people to a reference also helps, and allowing them to read for themselves is also a good idea. The instructions that came with your firearm for instance tell you exactly where to oil and not. Issues only arise when those that have not read these instructions think they know better than a manufacture. Fuddlore is hard to explain I get it
silicon, really thick, when ordering it gives you this option. Very impressed; think the option is around $7
