Good grief. Went looking for a new RigRunner for some work I’m doing in my truck, and discovered that WMR is back ordered on essentially everything they sell until June.
Other options will be evaluated! |

They make good stuff, and they're a small shop so as soon as things come in they go out the door. Took me a good 10 months to get my 4005.
As an aside, the MFJ-1107 isn't half bad at all. |

Same thing last year. I think I waited 8 months, about 4 months into that I was staring at a pile of them at Hamvention.
They have to be losing a pile of money not keeping up. |

West Mountain has been like this for at least 15 years or more. COVID only made it worse.
There are some Chicom knock off stuff on Amazon that might work just as well. YMMV Wind Camp Power Distribution |

Wind Camp makes some good quality stuff. I have the powerpole power adatper and flip-down legs for my FT818. Really impressed with those two items. I'd fo.

If you have a friend with a 3d printer, there are some DIY options out there.

All good info. I'll do some more digging around. I'm not in a hurry, just debating the options for adding a GMRS into the truck next to the 2m/70cm. I could probably just as easily split the power with a Y and I'm over-complicating this.

I could probably just as easily split the power with a Y and I'm over-complicating this. For a simple Y split, you can do a step-down butt splice to join them together, and just fuse on the other side of the splice so both equipments are protected by the same fuse, assuming they would take a similar rating fuse. The main advantage of a Rigrunner or similar is if you have a lot of gear you need to connect and fuse, since running inline fuse blocks everywhere is a massive pain in the ass. Having it centralized and using common and cheap ATO/ATC fuses makes management much easier when dealing with that much powered equipment. |
