Has anyone tried this antenna for DTR radios-Motorola part # 8505884r02? Here is a good photo and price of the antenna-https://www.batterydistributors.com/motorola-8505884r02-dipole-antenna.html. Same connector. Same frequency cut. No lossy matching network because it is a dipole as opposed to the end-fed stock and 7-inch normally offered for the radios. I see no reason why this antenna would not work. Admittedly, this antenna is not going to make a huge difference over the 7-inch antenna, but for distance junkies every little bit helps.
