    Will be no more conections adrian other than th base and plug to the head unit

    cheers
    Yeah that base comes apart and the coaxal wire can be soldered to the brass screw conection for the arial easy job as long as the coaxal wire is long enough

    There ll be a connection if you connect the old a new cables together........ that's if Leigh decides to go fo a new base and antenna. But your right, if the existing cable is long enough he can strip the old base a resolder the cable to it, the just buy a new whip

    Cant be done the reception breakdown would cause internal damage to the head unit the same as a uhf radio should never be used without an arial for the same reason
