Portkeys antenna stuck

[scorsesefan]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place… The antenna on my Portkeys bm5iii wr is stuck in the halfway up position. It was loose so I hand tightened the nut and now it won’t move. I tried loosening it with a pliar but it won’t budge and the plliar is too big to turn enough to loosen it. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

I think I used needle nose pliers in the past for really tight antennas.
Hopefully the antennas is sitting flush in the socket. If it’s on angle and sort of jammed into the socket it can be a bit of pain to loosen.
