Compression fittings from home depot work. I have the baluns and phasing gear for both your antennas, as I have a set myself. The436cp30 ones are off and I can measure them directly. However the 2m antenna is on the tower. I will have that down in a few days. Will make measurements for you. Norm n3ykf

Probably not quite the quality, but I was planning to use compression fittings and tool from Home Depot since I have both. Any hints on length or the design frequency? Guess I could construct based on where I plan to use them.
That reminds me of the months I've been waiting on ball bearings for the Yaesu az/el rotor which is why the antennas were on the ground where the beasts live. Four pits actually defend them from other things pretty well, and you wouldn't believe what they can do to 7/8 hardline.
