I have a 50 ft. random wire with coax lead and PL-259 connector for use with my R75

Is there an adaptor that can be used to connect that antenna to a portable radio's antenna

jack?

Most likely... it would depend upon what type of jack the portable has.



1/8th inch mono



Universal has one:

#1619 SO239-MINI SO239-Mini SO-239 (UHF) to 1/8 inch mini plug
adapter P- $3.49

yep, that's what I want... does Radio Shack have the same type?
Can't find it by searching the RS website.



I don't know.

I generally look for this sort of thing at hamfests.

They're usually about $2 per adapter, and I'll generally buy an
assortment in the hopes of keeping stuff in stock that'll let me convert
almost anything to almost anything else.

You never know when you might need an RCA-SMA adapter...
