    @Joejoe, I’d love to know the details of your installation. Where will you put the mxt575? Where will you pull power from? The battery? Or another source? Which antenna will you use and how will you mount it? About the cat6 you intend to run from the radio to the rj45 pass through. That can’t be an off the shelf item, can it? Doesn’t it need to be wired like this? (That is to say, with the ends mirroring one another?)
