Hi Mike.

One important thing regarding the DUNESTAR stack switchbox.

Get rid of the bulkhead mount SO239 connectors (4 ea)
on the dunestar. They are the kind that are held on with a nut.
They are just barely hanging on by a single thread, and VERY
unreliable mechanically.  Save yourself hours of trouble and
aggrevation and install the SO239 with the regular flage mount that
installs with 4 ea screws/nuts/lockwasher. You dont want them getting
loose/and breaking on the tower....TRUST ME!

You will need to grind some of the flange away so that the SO239s will
fit next to each other in the existing holes.

GL,  Bill  N1BB
