Guest Craig Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I just got a Nagoya na 771 for my baofeng and when I screw it all the way in it doesn’t receive. But when I screw it half way in. It receives. Any ideas why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRUE951 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 I had one do similar. I thought it was the radio, but after trading with a wouxon antenna, problem went away, But strangely the Nagoya worked fine in another radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRUU653 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 I haven’t had this happen with mine but it did come with some small ring spacers which makes me wonder if this is what’s needed for some radios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSAA635 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Not to get too far off topic but I've noticed that sometimes the O.D. of the antenna bade is too large to screw down into the I.D. of the hole on the radio. I had this issue with a Nagoya 701c and my Talkpod A36 Plus. It didn't seat far enough into the radio to make good contact so the factory antenna actually worked better.

JBRPong Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 I had this issue with one of my 771s, I just put a rubber o ring in between and it doesn't screw in all the way and it's working normally. AdmiralCochrane and WRXB215 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to do that when I did a minor mod to add a "tiger tale" JBRPong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
