I had a R-392. The BNC connector was for the Jeep type whip. Since this was
truly a field type radio, they included the universal antenna post for
hooking up any kind of long wire.



Thanks for the post. I was wondering if the BNC connector might go thru a
low-Z network, compared to the good-old-fashinoed binding post.

It would be an easy thing to pull the chassis out, and see if there is any
kind of impedance matching network off either of the 2 antenna ports.


Easy to get the chassis out (and a delight to look at -- this radio is as
pretty inside as it is ugly outside -- kiss the frog), but might need a fiber
optic scope to see inside the antenna system. I'll take a look.

Let me tell you, that thing is killer on the BCB with any kind of loop fed
into the BNC connector.


That's nice to know! I haven't done much with hooking loops to radios not
intended for them, but I do have some around I could try. Get a LOT less noise
and static with a loop than a hank of wire, for sure. Tnx es 73, Mike K.
