So, I ran the cable right up through the existing hole in the slide through a couple small holes in the shelf below the desk where the radio has been since day one. Plus the antennas are temporary/portable so I didn't need to put much thought or effort into a permanant cable runs. Just needed them inside. Once I move tomorrow I'll pull the cable tester out and make sure the ends are good.
That's a good looking setup. When I sold the stick house the base radios were sold. I've replaced 3 radios with a single Icom IC-7100 all mode. I miss the Kenwoods and multiple bands monitoring but whatever, I don't miss them enough to keep paying a Mortgage or stay in one place
Thank you and 73,
