Hi OM Scott,

I suppose you need to connect the HT to an external antenna.

A friend of mine faced the same problem when he wanted to connect a Motorola HT to an external antenna.

I had a look and there was no way to get a ground connection out without damaging the radio.

The 'half-way' solution is to connect another rubber ducky to the coax cable from the external antenna and inductively coupling it to the HT rubber ducky.

Here's the link to how I checked it out to see whether it would work.

It does work after a fashion!
