I have an 8 feet telescopic mast and wanted to make a similar antenna out of it. But couldn't figure out how to feed the cable into it without spilling it outside. Thought they used simple braided cables. But I see they use toothed cable which makes the job easier. Thanks.
Excellent work. However, what was the one you were soldering together? Im trying to fix my own y61 antenna to because it got stuck. And usually when I turn off the radio the antenna goes down. This time it doesnt.
