If you can use super glue, you can build this kit. It’s that simple.

Trying to jam it into the wrong mast won’t end well (ask me how I know 😅).

Great seller and awesome communication.
Great devices as usual! Amazing guy!
The unit was not glued, and it fell apart when I opened the package.
It was great working with them. They caught an order error I made and corrected it before the wrong item was sent. Great looking out for the customer. Will gladly do business with them again.
As all of my other purchases from Dude, as described and great.
I liked them so much I gave my first set of parts for the antenna to a good friend. This was the replacement for my own use. Sean is a great person to work with
Excellent customer service and prompt replies. I followed instructions on assembly and look forward to POTA when using the spiked mast and Spooltenna wire. -KD2ZZA NJ
Purchased this for future use when the LD-6 becomes available again. It's of good quality and arrived in a timely manner. The caps slid off a little too easily so I wrapped the ends of the tubing with scotch tape to make a snug fit. Still waiting for the carbon fiber mast to go with it.
Excellent product, exceeded all my expectations.
The mast holder was as described and easy to put together.
Great products, excellent service, and Sean is good guy!
Great product as dea tibed and was build very well
