I own a Wouxun KG-Q10G. Among other things I want to have it with me in my car as a backup GMRS, and I want to be able to connect it to my roof antenna's coax (with the standard UHF connector on the end of the coax) so that I can get more effective range. Thinking it would fit onto the antenna mounting point of my KG-Q10G, I purchased a "UHF female SO-239 to SMA Female adapter" to connect the Wouxun to the coax for my magnetic mount roof antenna. Seems simple enough. So, I unscrewed the factory antenna off the Wouxun only to find out the hard way that---of course---the adapter I bought does not fit into the Wouxun! What the heck! I'm an old Army vet, so I came from a world where everything fits/everything is made to be compatable. And I suppose the last thing the Wouxun manufacturers wanted to do was to make life at all simple by simply including in their operator manual any reference to the name/nomenclature/model of the kind of antenna socket they chose for that radio. So folks, the obvious question is: what stinkin' plug fits into/will screw into the Wouxun KG-Q10G antenna hole? Thanks for your help.
Which adapter fits the antenna mounting point for the Wouxun KG-Q10G??
