Ron,

Well, the cabinets are the same, but the housing for the 42-380 is on one side of the back side of the cabinet, and requires less vertical space and has the top and bottom wood mounts to one side as well. Consequently, the correct 42-380 antenna shows 4 all the way around wires that are approx 16" across the top(like the 41-280), but taper down to approx (9" across at the bottom). Whereas the 41-280 antenna is a perfect 16W"X23.5"L rectangular antenna, requiring more space and that is why the screw mounts are in the center. The antenna is too wide to fit in the 42-380 corner and be true to the mount holes. I need a tapered antenna! I guess I could modify the screw wood mounts for the 42-380 and place them in the center and then use the 41-280 antenna, but I prefer to keep it original. I am in no rush, so I will keep on looking!! Let me know if you hear of one!

Thx,
Jim
