True.

Please pardon my attempt at "dry humor"...

The internal antenna wire is a simple swap out once the TX Midule is disassembled and modified to accept the new threaded RPSMA end of the cable. The washers simply provide a better foundation for the new setup.

I'm not sure Radio Shack would carry the right components. However, if you have a specialized electronics supply house nearby, you might be in luck. Otherwise, looking online might be the more suitable source.

I bought several sets when I modded mine. I plan to do a few more for friends.

If there was enough interest, I could put kits with instructions together for a nominal cost or maybe perform the service for folks that just want it resolved without the fuss.

PM me if interested.
