I've been looking around recently for another antenna for the Baofeng UV-5R. Yes, I know, the UV-5R is shit as a sole scanner...but it's cheap and it works so to hell with it.
I've gone to RadioReference.com and other sites that are either filled with foamers or a helluva lot of radio nerds. Neither has been extremely helpful to put it lightly.
The basic criteria are it must be able to receive 160-163 VHF band (obviously) and it has to be a female connector, other than that, I'm down for anything you can think of...
The best I've seen are the Nagoya NA-701 and the Secuda (Nagoya) NA-773, but I'm still looking for other options as these aren't the greatest on VHF.
I'll keep searching in the meantime and post an update if I find something...
Thanks in advance!
