SMA terminated antenna ?....

I tried a couple on my Yaesu VX-5. Didn't do any really definitive testing
but subjective ability to access repeaters or other Hams in this rural area
wasn't noticably improved - at least not enough to warrant the bother, so
I'm back to the stock antenna. Naturally, others may find the opposite, but
I'd say "Save your money".
