What's the difference btw. these two antennas? I know one has 5K watts handling capability but how about the materials? The 5K also has the heavier stranded copper wire to the gamma match right?, are the gamma matches the same or is the 5K gamma bigger/thicker?

If I put a heavy duty grounding harnass from the antenna to the gamma match on my Maco V 5/8 could it handle the additional wattage?

Just wondering?
Thanks

i doubt it, i think you would need the whole gama match for the 5000 watt deal to convert yours over but thats all an educated guess since im not looking at anything here. but a safe bet.
