WRPF281 Posted February 8, 2022 Report Posted February 8, 2022 I am new to gmrs and the information about the Wouxun 20 Watt says the connector is a SO239. Am I going to have to buy an Adaptor to fit a magnetic antenna? It's 28 degrees in Michigan right now, so I am going to find a magnetic base mobile antenna to put on a two drawer metal cabinet in front of my second story window. Does anyone know of a good mobile antenna that will receive the Ham 2meter and 70cm along with gmrs frequencies? Quote
wayoverthere Posted February 8, 2022 Report Posted February 8, 2022 Nope. So239 is the female side of the standard uhf connector; most mag mounts will come with the male side, aka PL259 (think SOcket and PLug). (Double check the connector listed if you're buying from a source that covers other radio gear as well, as there are a few other possible connectors. However PL259 are pretty common, to mate with the SO239 found on most mobile radios. Edit: On antenna, that's pretty much what the comet ca2xr sr is made for...available for nmo and uhf mounts. Only downside is the length at near 40". Phenfay 1 Quote
