Hello,

It's the very thin and flexible type which comes in handy as it's 17" long, and has an SMA connector which is what the VX-2 uses. If you don't want something that long they also make the RD-9 which is only 7" long. I have both, have found the RD-9 to be on par with the stock antenna (Yaesu, FT-50 which I believe uses the same antenna as your VX-2) though the flexibility is a nice feature; the RD-98 is head and shoulders above the stock antenna. 73, Howard |

I use a Pryme RD9. Good for a radio this size - not so top heavy. Some
have issues with the center pin being too short - but mine works FB. "paul" wrote: Hello, I just purchased a VX-2 and am looking to replace the stock rubber duck. Any suggestions or recommendations would be much appreciated! 73! -- "From spongecake to satellites, it's gotta be Krebstar" |
