My 88H400 came with a small PWB that plugged into the Kenwood TS-940, among others. In general, it was sold as a higher-performance (i.e., steeper skirts) replacement for the 500 Hz stock Kenwood hig

There's no need to cut struts or do anything else that isn't stock Rohn as long as you use one of the two appropriate top sections sold by Rohn. Had them on multiple towers for 25 years. Bud, W2RU __
