All, Here are the steps I took to remove the antenna. The radio is great but gluing the antenna is probably the most annoying thing they could do. Please note this will most likely void your warranty. There is also the possibility that you do permanent damage to the radio. 1) Remove the glued antenna as gently as possible. Use your hands! (If needed, apply some WD40 and let it rest. Place the radio upside-down to avoid getting WD-40 inside the radio.) 2) Once the antenna is off, you should still see the center connector coming out of the radio as seen below. 2b) The antenna should look something like this. 3) Remove the black plastic gasket 4) Apply plenty of electrical tape to the antenna side so that you can grab it with the vice. When you place the antenna in the vice, don't get it too tight! Just enough so that it does not rotate. 5) Apply WD40 and separate the copper rim by gently rotating it using a pick or a screwdriver. I was constantly using a pick to remove the glue debris. I did this to apply WD-40 at the edge of the antenna. This step might not be needed but I did it as it gave me a clearer picture of what I was doing. 5) Use some locking plier to rotate the connector away from the antenna. There is no need to lock the plier, just hold them with you hand. If needed, apply WD-40 and let it sit for 5minutes. 6) Once the connector is out, clean it and remove any glue. 7) Once everything is clean, apply some super glue and install the connector back to the radio. Now install the black gasket 9) Install the copper color ring. Then once again apply super glue. We are doing this to avoid yanking the connector out again when we change antennas. 10) Let the super glue dry and you are all set. Here is a comparison between the KG-Q10H and KG-Q10G. Hope this helps!
