I should have added that I will not buy from Sentry myself. I bought a pair for Mastr II, gave them the ICOM part numbers, and they screwed it up badly. Claim I need to send my ICOM's to them because I was taking them out of band (from 154 to 146 is out of band to their blithering minds). I should call them one of these days and ask when the hell are they going to send me a working pair. meantime, I was given a set that were for the pair I had ordered, and installed them in the same ICOM's that Sentry's junk would not work in. I'm not sure if I should try asking them to redo and send a pair for a 440 pair that I will be using sometime down the road, after I move to the Mojave California area. I want a pair that will work, not more junk. I was only using the size as a reference.
