is it worth while to get a Rat Shack center loaded telescoping
antenna;
- which I've heard are F R A G I L E . .
or would a right angle BNC connector
( Rat Shack Model: 278-126 | Catalog #: 278-126 )
with ~ 5 feet of wire & an alligator clip suffice?
Thanks . . .
If your radio is stationary - have some sort of stand the Radio Shack
center loaded antenna is a good choice.
Also the Diamond RH77CA is also a great antenna
