Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the ideas and feedback.  Agree on taking it one step at a time.  I do tend to overthink before I act.

Hi Alan,
The feed thru is homebrew.  I just used some electrical boxes, conduit, and waterproof covers I got from Home Depot. 

I mounted an electrical box on the outside wall.    Then drilled through the wall to locate where to mount another box on the inside wall.    There is a piece of conduit between the boxes.  I mounted the covers on both the outside and inside. 

To keep out the bugs, I stuff some foam in the conduit around the cables.  The covers hide the foam but it's easy to pull it out if you need to add or remove a cable.  Just use a good size diameter piece of conduit between the boxes.

Hi Alan,
I read your post with great interest as you and I have a lot in common.  I've been a ham for many years , licensed in 1956 as KN6VMV when I was 13.  I didn't have a clue about SDR radios but  I took the plunge and bought a Flex 6300.  Best radio I've ever owned and I've owned a lot of rigs over the years.  I like to keep things simple and easy.  I haven't had one single problem with my 6300 and current setup.  I don't want to take up space here but I would like to share some of my thoughts and info with you. I would greatly appreciate it if you please send me your email address, and/or mailing address.  My email address is edk6vmv@gmail.com.  All my info, and pics, are good on qrz.com.  Welcome back Alan. 73, Ed K6VMV
