right. I wouldn't want my old suitcase size AM radio and I'm quits happy they switched over to VHF. I guess I shouldn't bitch about the new one not fitting exactly. As for cutting the VHF cable the exact lengh, well, that was the factory or the PO. I went from round Kenyon instruments to square Auto Helm 18 years ago and didn't bitch so it must mean I'm just getting old. I suppose now that I mentioned the instruments they'll be the next to go. With any luck the new ones won't be triangle in shape. Thanks for the wake up call.
