Any certain one your looking for?
All I see on ebay are BNC connectors. According to the wiki the scanner came with an SMA to BNC adapter. Do you still have it?

You can order them from Radio Shack

That antenna has the BNC connector. Part #20-283.
If you dont have the adapter then you wont be able to use it. I thought they had the SMA version of it, but I cant find it.
If you want to really be cheap the find you a copper wire the same size as the hole, cut it to length, and poke it in the hole. You may have to tape it up or something to secure it.

That RS antenna is actually on sale. I don't think you will find one cheaper on ebay unless someone is selling a used one.
I don't think you'll find a cheaper one even if it used. These RS-800 antennas are well known by many RRDB members to be excellent antennas given their cost. They are probably the most inexpensive option one can add to a scanner to get decent 800 Mhz coverage.
However, with the slow (or not so slow) demise of RS stores, it might not be a bad idea to stock up on a few of these antennas. I own 5 or 6 but if I see one at a RS, I usually buy it.

I snagged one at a closing store for $12.00. Was also able to grab a center loaded one for $7.00. Both were well worth it.

I just picked up 2 more at a 50% off closing store for $12 a piece. Best addition you can make to a radio for 700-800mz scanning. They only come in BNC so I picked up a couple half price adaptors too.
