  1. I bought a pair of Baofeng UV-5X GMRS radios from Amazon and decided to upgrade the antennas. I purchased the NG 771-G (SMA male as SMA female will not connect at all) also from Amazon, but I had no reception at all using the NG 771-G antenna. Thinking the antenna might be counterfeit, I ordered another from a popular online vendor, but had the same problem. Both antennas were tested on both radios for weather channel reception. The rubber duck antennas performed as expected, but no reception was achieved with either NG 771-G antenna. I then checked the NG 771-G antennas on a Yaesu FT3D with adequate results. Checking the Diamond antenna from the FT3D on the UV-5X radios yielded the same no reception results. I would welcome any constructive advice or suggestions.
