Thanks Ken for the advice on bale assembly. I had discovered the correct technique here on the reflector and believe I could do the job if I wanted. I wasn't going to use the bale anyway because of how I have the rig situated with my other radios. If I were a proud man I would install the bale as a matter of principle. But at the end of the end of the assembly process, I had worked so hard and long, and was so proud of the radio, I didn't have the courage to risk failure again. As you surely know, this radio is as much a window into the human spirit as it is fine instrument of radio communications. I'm a happy camper, but I still say, "The bale is a bear."
