Comet 712EFC or EF? It has a sticker with the "C"!

[GMRS4TheWin]

All, just got my Comet 712EFC from DX. The package that the antenna came in clearly said Comet 712EF, and a sticker was added at the end so it says "712EFC." The antenna itself does appear to say 712EFC. Has any one else experienced this? I assume it is to save on manufacturing costs so Comet only has to produce one package, but I wanted to double check as those are two different antennas for different frequencies.

Not just saving on packaging, but probably the same antenna as well, just tuned for what you ordered perhaps?

My Comet GP-6NC was labeled that way. The package said GP-6 witch a NC sticker added to the end of it. The standard (2m/70cm ham) GP-6 has SO-239 connectors and the GMRS/MURS version has a type-N connector.

Mine was like that too. I think it’s normal for the “c” gmrs version

It makes financial sense. Why print two different boxes when you can simply add a sticker.
