Yeah, they actually build antennas for all frequencies, something you
obviously do not ... ROFLOL

Most amateurs do not.
Most amateurs buy them.
Most amateurs would not know how to build them.

No amateurs operate on all frequencies idiot.

Idiot, he said connect an antenna to the whip.

No he didn't idiot. He even mentioned that the radio comes with the
ANT-60 antenna, which plugs into the antenna jack not clip onto the whip
antenna. The clip is for holding the far end of the windup part of the
antenna to something so the antenna can be held off the ground, idiot.

An amateur idiot answered with the clip a wire to the whip comment,
idiot.

Now you propose he drills a hole though the battery compartment of
the radio to gain access to some sort of ground; or else, do a DIY
antenna somewhere on the case by dismantling the radio?

Well that shows to everyone the news group that you are a complete
idiot. I suggest you go post somewhere else idiot.

Now I remember why I wrote you off as a total idiot ...

Brainless worthless key clown. You don't understand what you post about
so you take shots at people like me that do. Must be tough to be you.
