Antenna retaining nut

[WRPU934]

Long story short, I'm missing that little brass antenna retaining nut and for my uv5r and I can't find one online anywhere.

Does any one have a source for one or know the thread size? 

 

Thanks

Try Ace Hardware or a Marine supply store.

Unless the UV5R is unusual, the only "nut" I can visualize is the thin plate that holds the SMA connector in place on the body of the radio. Those tend (at least in my mind) to have teeth cut in the rim for a "special" tool to unscrew them, as normal nuts are too thick and don't leave room for a socket.

Didn't see any of the flat plate style.

Sure: Buy another radio, unscrew the nut and put the rest in your parts drawer!
