[TowerTalk] Cable Glands

[Adam Shirley WJ4X]

I really like the Hubbell watertight fittings, they fit LMR 400
perfectly... The problem is when you add a wire, it will affect the
seal, is there room for another tiny connector? They have some that have
no predrilled hole, and you could modify to fit.
