Well they did take a few days to get it out which was frustrating considered I payed for two day shipping. I needed on Thursday. I ordered it Sunday night but didn't get it until Saturday. :-( With that said the Comet SMA-24 does fit with no problem...
You are correct that they do have better...
I hope not!!!!! I specifically want it by tomorrow so I can take out on a wetlands study Thursday. That's why I selected 2 day shipping. I guess tomorrow will tell the story...
I ordered the Comet SMA 24 from The Antenna Farm. I'm a little concerned about it because I payed extra for expedited shipping and my account shows the order is processing and I have not received a confirmation number. I also sent them an e-mail yesterday and have not gotten a response. Maybe it...
Hey! Yeah I know they designed it that way. :-) I just don't want to order an antenna that has a base to large to fit on it. I was hoping someone might know which ones do and don't fit.
I'll do some more reading to find a suitable "base" antenna.
Thanks!
What replacemeny antennas will fit on this HT? The reason I ask is that the gps antenna is really close the the rubber duck. Also when using this in the house, what would you guys recommend for a permanent antenna? Maybe a dipole, wire?

Thanks Uli! I was a little concerned about that Yaesu based on the somewhat negative reviews and lack of them... Although its about twice what I wanted to spend on a HT I went ahead and ordered the Icom. If I didn't need/want the gps and its ability to store points to the card I was just going...
Thanks for the info!
I just purchased a Garmin eTrex 20 so I can log points while I am out surveying wetlands etc. My honest opinion of these is that they are ridiculously antiquated. The screen is something from a 1990's cell phone and it responds like one as well. It comes with only a base...
So I am trying to determine how well the GPS function works on these units. Do they work similar to a Garmin back tracking way points allowing data export. Most important to me would be real time longitude and latitude. I can physically right them down into a journal. If you guys have had...
Grogan,
They are 1400mah Nickel-Metal Hydride. They are way out dated. You would think that a company would want to keep its products updated. Many people on forums mention FM radio capability on their HT as well as longer lasting batteries. It's not tike Yaesu would need to retool anything by...
Thanks guys. I'll get a couple pictures of the antenna in a little bit. The car is a 2006 Honda Accord. To make the install even a little bit cleaner I am going to try to find that black paint brush bristle looking stuff to adhere to the inside edges where the cords are coming out. Not that you...
Since I had sort of a difficult time trying to decide how to mount my rig into the car I thought I would share some photos of my setup. Here was my dilemma. I had already removed my stock center console (under the radio) and inserted an aftermarket piece that would allow for a stereo...
So as I am trying to find a HT I come across this issue. The only radio that advertises compliance is Wouxun. I have really been leaning toward their KG-UV6X for all the accessories and features. (I really want aircraft freqs however) With that said, none of the major 3 produce a radio capable...
