Wow, is a Galaxy DX-98VHP really worth this much?

I ran the leads directly to the batteries. I also have two 50 amp fuses on the hot lead. I know overkill. Antenna on a bird perch with a separate ground wire to the battery box mounting bolts. I know some have said this was not necessary, but this helped lower my SWRs from 1.8 to 1.3. Both are 12'' from each end. Be advised that this radio needs to have really good airflow around it so forget about shoving it in the cubbyhole. Also would not work with the side mounting mic cable. This radio has a top mount bracket. I do not turn the power past 12 o'clock to guard against blowing the finals.

To address full speed ahead's comments: Yes I know should have a ham liscence. I am studying for the test. I stay on 19 where I belong.
