WRVE426 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Hi I have just received a (very nice) BTECH GMRS-PRO (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0B4BLZ67Z) and I would like to replace the original antenna with a Genuine Nagoya NA-771G. My problem is that I am not quite sure which one to pick (none of the ones I have seem to fit this base). I have attached a photo of the base of the antenna for this radio. Could anybody please post an Amazon link to the Nagoya NA-771G version I need to purchase for this radio? Many thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be this one: Authentic Genuine Nagoya NA-771G 15.3-Inch Whip GMRS (462MHz) Antenna SMA-Female for BTECH and BaoFeng Radios https://a.co/d/eWqjTzt bobthetj03, WRUU653 and WRVE426 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRVE426 Posted December 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 yup, ordered! thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRUU653 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 I have one of these and I’m happy with it. It was a little snug in my Baofeng UV-9G so I just gave the antenna base a light sanding with some emery cloth, barely any at all. Just a few spins and it seated better. I doubt you would need to do that for your radio as I think this was more my radio then the antenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRVR429 Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I thought they said the antenna was not removable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it worked very very well, I am super happy with this antenna (it seems much better than the one which the Btech GMRS Pro came with) WRUU653 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimborazo Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 This is confusing to me. What I see is SMA female on the radio and SMA male on the antenna, but the Amazon listing says it's female. Do I have that wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some radios have a male center pin SMA connector (mostly the less expensive ones) and some have the a female connector on the radio. You must get the antenna that mates with the radio.

wrci350 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Amazon listing for what? What radio are you talking about? If you are looking at the same Amazon listing that I am, you can order both versions (SMA-M or SMA-F). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted one on 12/3 that was correct for one radio, but would be wrong for another. It’s completely up to you to order the antenna that matches your radio.
