About to get started in HAM & buying a vehicle antenna. Radio not arrived yet. WHAT type of antenna connector will I need for this HT? Thanks!

The connector type is SMA-f, you would probably want to buy a SMA-f to BNC-f adapter for car use.

The radio requires a F-SMA antenna, so you will need an adapter that has a F-SMA connector on one end and probably a SO-239 connector on the other end (if you are using a normal mobile antenna with a cable). I strongly recommend you get a F-SMA to SO-239 cable (instead of a one-piece connector adapter) because the one-piece connector adapters can put a lot of stress on the HT's connector, and over time, cause you many SWR issues.

Search ebay.These 82 HTs may not have the extended battery out yet. Amazon and ebay both carryreplacement and up-graded HT antennas. Remember you need a dual band. MFJ is a very good HAMradio supplier so is R&L; electronics. They both carry the HT antennas you need. 73s

The connectors are referred to as UHF. The coax and connectors work well with HF, VHF and UHF. I am using mine on a HF transceiver and it works great.

Look for a power antenna wire. It will also work. If that is not available you can use a switched source from radio or your fuse panel.

A 69 Dollar discone off Amazon will do nicely. Get it up 40 feet and you're set. Use a 50 foot run of RG8X coax or if you have money RG213. Don't forget the correct coax ends to match the radio and the antenna. Do NOT use adapters!

I used an antenna that was already there. It's about 4 ft long. I think you will need an antenna cause the plug is fairly short. Looks like one on a car

Hello, It depends what you are wanna do and how easy you want it to be - depending ton the new radio or unit wou want to purchase you need an adapter of the radio cable tree to the of your vehiclethen depending of the size of the radio you also need an adapter there - with these 2 items - you should be good to go

Mine came with the faceplate mounting adapter & cables necessary to install it in an automobile. You will need to purchase an antenna & antenna cable to make it automobile operational. If you wish to use it as a base unit, you will need to buy a power supply, exterior VHF/UHF antenna, & a suitable length antenna cable. I recommend a J-pole from Arrow Antenna, Cheyenne, WY, or build your own!

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise youll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

I cannot answer you on this question, when I bought my boat, it came with the radio/antennaand broke my antenna, I bought a new antenna and have to route the cable and the whole works. No I cannot help on this issue for I just want the same antenna on my boat with same model. Good luck, Charlie

This comes with connector, but you still need the adapter for the cars radio connector. then you will connect both of these connectors together. let me know if you need more info.

not sure the antenna connections are compatible. generally traditional boat use VHF's are 25 watts and these hand helds are only 5 watts. i would not buy this radio again

Looks like you need an SMA male to BMC female adapter. Your new antenna might be a little much for the poor little SMA connector on the Wouxun. With that being said, some good sources would be: dxengineering.com (Part Number DMN-BNCJ-SMAP. Price ~$10.) Powerwertx.com (Part Number RF-8382. Price ~$6.00.) Allied Electronics - alliedelec.com (Part Number 70198126. Price ~$11.00.)Hope that helps. There are many other vendors the can help your needs.

The one I purchased included the GXM 30 antenna. It was for the GPS and XM radio. That's where the initials for the antenna come from. Good luck

...it appears that the antenna for this particular unit is "built in" to the compact unibody of the radio, so there would not be a need for an external Di-Pole connection, the PAL type connector won't fit most units anyway.

I'm not that well versed in hand radios, however the antenna shown does screw off and on. The spec says 50 Ohm impedance. It looks like some sort of standard interface. The options list in the handbook refers to a FA-SC58V antenna but that appears to be a direct replacement. Nothing else on the handheld that could be an auxiliary antenna port. Phil
