I think we've all learned a very valuable lesson here today.

i have more experience and none of that makes any sense.

You can use the same one.

50W is good, especially when you have a long-run of that leaky coax, to get more juice squirting from the antenna.
50W is also good to step on the other guy that is irritating everyone but only has 20W.. all else being equal.

The antenna that comes on the Q10G is a GMRS antenna, so it does not perform optimally on the CB channels.. .To "fix" it, you may want to try an antenna better tuned for CB.

The final days of our "Delta" repeater were pretty pathetic.. After we shut it down a couple of the jammers and troublemakers moved over to the other high-level repeaters in the area.  
These people are absolute losers at life.  i'm not just saying that - I know who they are, and they truly are pathetic nothings.

Correction, THREE NotARubicon Youtube videos on it..

On mine it doesn't look like it, but just to be safe i wouldn't play with it in the bathtub.

Wait.. Whut?

My OTHER theory is that the corkscrew just allows you to have a shorter antenna with the same electrical length, and it has nothing to do with performance, other than having a shorter antenna that is just as performant as a longer one.

I've always assumed that the corkscrew makes the RF electricities spin-around faster and then squirt out of the antenna at a higher rate, making them go more fars..
..i could be wrong though.

Jeep: XTL5000 w/Midland MXTA26 antenna
Out of the Jeep while off-roading: XTS2500
Base: XTL5000 connected to Tram1486
Office: KG1000GPlus w/MXTA26 on a cookie sheet in the window
Couch: XTS5000
Repeater: Vertex 7000 w/Tram1486 and LMR400 coax.
Other than the repeater all the coax is just inexpensive black-coax.

Here, I'll just get it over with:  You will get a $250,000 fine AND go to jail!!

If it was ME, (i have actually had similar shituations) I would (and do) just use a good quality adaptor... "Some People" will warn you that you are going to lose all your power through an adaptor, but I am able to deal with that 0.002% amount of loss.
"some people" will also tell you to just do-up the cables and connectors yourself - but, many normal people dont want to hassle it, and, are willing to cope with that 0.002% loss from using an adaptor.
..Be sure to use a good-quality adaptor, not the $2 one from Amazon.
