    Ok all of a sudden my antennas are producing a buzz in the radio(confirmed by removing coax and the buzz disappears) and my swr's are redlined. Im buying a jumper coax tomorrow when I leave home to check if its an coax or grounding issue. My question for those of you with experience with a KW T600 or W9 or Pete 379/389 cab is "If its the coax and it needs replaced whats the best way to route a new coax?" I really dont want to replace the factory coax as that will involve a dealer and dash removal etc and I dont really want to go that route because its probably pretty costly. So is it feasible to try to run it between the door and the forward post? Since these dont have the wing windows that option is out. Thanks for your input.

    You shouldn't have to remove the dash to run the coax in the factory location. I've never done it in a T6, but the instrument panels should come out individually pretty easily, maybe even without tools if they're in there with thumb screws. You will have to take the door panel off, and you might have to take the piece of trim off the a-pillar if you have it mounted overhead. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right the first time.
