A small drop of Loctite will hold the set screws in place. Be sure to
use blue Loctite so you can loosen the set screws if you really need
to. I advise against red Loctite, as you will not break the screws
loose if you use that. Available at any good hardware store.

Hi Jeff,
Those small set screws can be terminal out there on the road... A friend of
mine, Skip who makes duck decoys invented magnetic duck wings adapters that
attach to the decoy. The other decoys use tiny set-screws, which the
hunters drop in the water or in their blind. Thought that was a pretty cool
idea... Don't know if this tech can be transferred to mobile antennas some
how...
Jeff... I have 40m and 20m hustler resonators with compression fittings.
Haven't used these lately...If you need these, I could ship them to
y'all.....

Thanks everyone for their tips. It turns out the Allen wrench size is 3/32
inch, not the thread size. The set screw is 2050-26 10-32 x 1/8 inch.
I contacted New-Tonics and they are sending me 10 spare set screws for
free! Now that's great customer service.
BTW I mentioned to them that I hate their newer design that uses the set
screws to hold the whip to the resonator and how I wished they would go
back to the compression fitting. They are going to pass this along to their
engineering department.
